Mit dem Inkraftreten der der Energie-Einspar-Verordnung EnEV 2006 und der Einführung des Energieausweises für Gebäude innerhalb der EU ist ein starker Anstieg des Auftragsvolumens im Bereich der Gebäudesanierung zu erwarten. Dieser Band ist ein Ratgeber mit konkreten Hinweisen zur Umsetzung energetischer Sanierungsmaßnahmen, der den Planer vom Entwurf bis zur Ausführung begleitet. Alle energetischen Fragen sind entsprechend der Zielsetzungen behandelt. Großmaßstäbliche Detailzeichnungen dokumentieren konstruktive Lösungen zur Behebung baulicher Schwachstellen. Ein Überblick über anlagentechnische Maßnahmen hilft bei der Beurteilung von Möglichkeiten, Kosten und Wirtschaftlichkeit. Dass nachhaltige Verbesserungen nicht allein durch energetische Maßnahmen erreicht werden können, sondern dass die Betrachtung des gesamten Gebäudes wichtig ist, zeigen realisierte Projekte. Die Beispiele sind jeweils mit Zustandsanalyse, Darstellung der Maßnahmen und deren Bewertung dokumentiert. Now that the Energy Certificate for Buildings has been introduced throughout the European Union, we can expect to see a sharp rise in the number of building renovations. This volume is a practical guide with concrete recommendations for realizing energy-related renovation measures - it accompanies the planner from design to execution. All energy-related issues are treated according to their goals. Large-scale detail drawings document constructive solutions for removing structural weaknesses. An overview of installation engineering measures helps to evaluate possibilities, costs, and economic viability. The book uses realized projects to demonstrate that sustainable improvements cannot be achieved by energy-specific measures alone - it is also important to consider the building as a whole. All of the examples are documented with a state analysis as well as a depiction and assessment of the measures taken.

Building Energy Flexibility and Demand Management looks at the high penetration of intermittent renewable energy sources and the need for increased flexibility. Ensuring electrical power systems adapt to dynamic energy demand and supply conditions, the book supports the transition to a renewable energy future with current fluctuating power generation. By facilitating the penetration of renewable energy sources into the building sector and balancing electricity supply with demand in real-time, this book will provide fundamental concepts, theories, and methods to understand, quantify, design and optimize building energy flexibility. In addition, the book also provides case studies with emerging technologies to enhance building energy flexibility and demonstrate how demand management strategies can utilize energy flexibility for demand reduction and load shifting. It will be useful for all those researchers and engineers working in flexible energy systems and advanced demand side management strategies. --

Architecture is energy. Lines drawn on paper to represent architectural intentions also imply decades and sometimes centuries of associated energy and material flows. Form Follows Energy is about the relationship between energy and the form of our built environment. It examines the optimisation of energy flows in building and urban design and the implications for form and configuration. It speaks to both architectural and engineering audiences and offers for the first time a truly interdisciplinary overview on the subject, explaining the complex relationships between energy and architecture in an easy to follow manner and using simple diagrams to show how energy design strategies can be used to maximize the energy performance of our built environment, while at the same time leading to new aesthetic qualities and radically new forms in architecture and urban design. Case studies are used to illustrate the theory. The books philosophy is based on the guiding principles underlying nearly 30 years work in practice, research and teaching. It is relatively easy to make something simple seem complicated. To make a complex topic seem simple and easily understandable is far more of a challenge and this is the aim of this book. Architektur ist Energie. Architektonische Entwürfe entscheiden oft für Jahrzehnte und manchmal Jahrhunderte über den damit verbundenen Energie- und Materialverbrauch. Form Follows Energy analysiert das Verhältnis zwischen Energieströmen und der Form unserer gebauten Umwelt. Es untersucht die Optimierung der Energieflüsse in Architektur und Städtebau und ermittelt daraus neue Ansätze. Die komplexen Zusammenhänge zwischen Architektur und Energie werden in Fallstudien veranschaulicht. Handgezeichnete Diagramme zeigen auf, wie Energieplanungsstrategien genutzt werden können, um maximale Energieeffizienz zu erzielen. Der Autor greift in seiner Darstellung auf fast 30 Jahre Praxis, Lehre und Forschung zurück und stellt ein komplexes Thema für Architekten und Bauingenieure leicht verständlich dar.

"The deteriorating condition of federal facilities poses economic, safety, operational, and environmental risks to the federal government, to the achievement of the missions of federal agencies, and to the achievement of public policy goals. Primary factors underlying this deterioration are the age of federal facilities--about half are at least 50 years old--and decades of inadequate investment for their maintenance and repair. These issues are not new and there are no quick fixes. However, the current operating environment provides both the impetus and the opportunity to place investments in federal facilities' maintenance and repair on a new, more sustainable course for the 21st Century. Despite the magnitude of investments, funding for the maintenance and repair of federal facilities has been inadequate for many years, and myriad projects have been deferred. Predicting Outcomes of Investments in Maintenance and Repair of Federal Facilities identifies processes and practices for transforming the current portfolio of federal facilities into one that is more economically, physically, and environmentally sustainable. This report addresses ways to predict or quantify the outcomes that can be expected from a given level of maintenance and repair investments in federal facilities or facilities' systems, and what strategies, measures, and data should be in place to determine the actual outcomes of facilities maintenance and repair investments."--Publisher's description.
