Paradox 3 Primary energy Primærenergiforbrug consumption Rising Stigende cooling køling demand Falling Faldende space heating opvarmning demand Reduced space heating demand results in Rising cooling demand 6 Past Nutid Present Fremtid
Paradigm 3 Heat balance in new low energy buildings is radically different: - Heat savings - Growing electricity consumption - Larges glass facades - User demands - Climate change Summer conditions dominate; not winter
What is a low/zero-energy building? - Do we need wider demands to energy and indoor climate? How should passive and active solutions be balanced? - Regulative demand to building design and/or technologies? How can users and occupants control low/zero energy buildings? - Can we open the windows?
