Academic literature on the topic 'IDA-ICE'

Building energy performance modeling is essential for energy planning, management, and efficiency. This paper presents a space heating model suitable for auto-generating baseline models of existing multifamily buildings. Required data and parameter input are kept within such a level of detail that baseline models can be auto-generated from, and calibrated by, publicly accessible data sources. The proposed modeling framework consists of a thermal network, a typical hydronic radiator heating system, a simulation procedure, and data handling procedures. The thermal network is a lumped and simplified version of the ISO 52016-1:2017 standard. The data handling consists of procedures to acquire and make use of satellite-based solar radiation data, meteorological reanalysis data (air temperature, ground temperature, wind, albedo, and thermal radiation), and pre-processing procedures of boundary conditions to account for impact from shading objects, window blinds, wind- and stack-driven air leakage, and variable exterior surface heat transfer coefficients. The proposed model was compared with simulations conducted with the detailed building energy simulation software IDA ICE. The results show that the proposed model is able to accurately reproduce hourly energy use for space heating, indoor temperature, and operative temperature patterns obtained from the IDA ICE simulations. Thus, the proposed model can be expected to be able to model space heating, provided by hydronic heating systems, of existing buildings to a similar degree of confidence as established simulation software. Compared to IDA ICE, the developed model required one-thousandth of computation time for a full-year simulation of building model consisting of a single thermal zone. The fast computation time enables the use of the developed model for computation time sensitive applications, such as Monte-Carlo-based calibration methods.

Introduction: The compulsive craving and consumption of non-food substances, known as pica, is a well-documented symptom associated with iron deficiency anemia (IDA). Olfactory cravings associated with IDA are a recently described phenomenon known as desiderosmia. In our practice we observed a subset of patients with IDA who report specific tactile cravings associated with mastication. Methods: This study included patients from the Mayo Clinic (Rochester, MN) and Ankara Training and Research Hospital (Ankara, Turkey) Hematology practices who self-reported tactile mastication cravings during initial evaluation for IDA between 1/1/18 and 6/30/19. Information including sociodemographics, substance craved, values of hemoglobin (Hgb), mean corpuscular volume (MCV), and ferritin before and after iron replacement therapy, and symptom resolution after treatment were recorded. Results: We observed 12 patients with IDA who self-reported chew cravings during initial evaluation. All patients were female and the median age was 41.5 years (33-59). Of these 12 patients, median baseline Hgb, MCV, and ferritin were 9.4 g/dL (6.6-12.9), 73.7 fL (59.1-95.1), and 6 µg/L (2-21), respectively. Tactile cravings included chewing gum (3), mastic gum (2), ginseng (1), dry oats (1), crackers (1), pickles (1), chips (1), sawdust (1), and knitting rope (1). Many patients reported the frequency and satisfaction of these cravings resulted in jaw pain as well as the persistence of cravings despite this discomfort. Only 16.7% (2/12) reported concurrent ice pica. In total, 9 patients proceeded with observed treatment of their IDA with clinical follow-up and laboratory confirmation of iron repletion. Oral (ferrous glyconate or ferrous fumarate) and intravenous (ferric carboxymaltose, iron sucrose, or low molecular weight iron dextran) iron replacement were used in 33.3% (3/9) and 66.7% (6/9) patients, respectively. Post-treatment median laboratory values include: Hgb 12.7 g/dL (10.8-14.7), MCV 80.1 fL (76.1-91.7), and ferritin 98 µg/L (24-398). Overall, 88.9% (8/9) reported resolution of chew cravings after iron repletion. The lone patient with persistent symptoms had a baseline ferritin of 10 µg/L, improved to 398 µg/L after replacement, and settled back at 42 µg/L three months later. Discussion: Our patient experience provides suggestive evidence that oral tactile craving symptoms, distinct from ice pica, exists in a subset of patients suffering from IDA. For this, we propose the term "desideromastica" derived from the Latin words "desiderare" for desire and "mastica" for chew. "Desidero" can also be indicative of a reduction in iron, which relates to iron deficiency. Our hope in naming this relatively unexplored symptom associated with IDA will encourage additional clinicians to share their experience and guide future investigation.

Abstract Nowadays national and international directives have focused on improving energy efficiency in the building sector. According to them, energy consumption and emissions of buildings must be reduced. This can be achieved by balancing energy demand in buildings. In this context, this paper proposes a buildings’ energy demand balancing method using the building energy consumption simulation program IDA ICE and real measurements. A 3D model of the building was developed, energy consumption and indoor climate of the building was monitored throughout the year, the behaviour of the occupants (a survey was conducted) was analysed, dynamic change of the weather was studied and all data were integrated into IDA ICE simulation. In order to increase the energy efficiency of buildings, the possibilities of optimization of heat production equipment and heating devices, as well as inspecting and optimization of ventilation and cooling equipment were considered. By adjusting the parameters of the heating system of the researched object, the energy consumption of the auto centre decreased to 39.3 kWh/m2 per year. One of the most popular methods of balancing energy demand in recent years – the creation of smart grids – is also considered.

Double skin façades are façade technologies that have the perspective of reducing energy use and improving comfort in buildings due to their adaptable nature. Exhaust-air façades offer the possibility to utilize solar energy by recovering heat from the façade cavity. However, the cavity overheating can be detrimental on the summer performance. Predicting performance and optimizing the system during the design phase is a challenge, especially when the cavity-air is integrated into the HVAC system. Whole-building energy simulation (BES) software tools are an adequate tool for calculating whole building performance, although these can have limitations in the accurate replication of complex building elements. The paper analyses the available and applied modelling approaches within a BES tool, and compares the outputs in terms of cavity temperature, horizontal and vertical temperature profiles, and heat flux through the façade. The sensitivity of the results on the modelling approach is evaluated. Results can serve as a guide for practitioners on the selection of the modelling approach for a given task.

In this paper, energy consumption analysis and a process to identify appropriate models based on heat dynamics for large structures are presented. The analysis uses data from heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) system sensors, as well as data from the indoor climate and energy software (IDA Indoor Climate and Energy (IDA-ICE) 4.7 simulation program). Energy consumption data (e.g., power and hot water usage) agrees well with the new models. The model is applicable in a variety of applications, such as forecasting energy consumption and controlling indoor climate. In the study, both data-derived models and a grey-box model are tested, producing a complex building model with high accuracy. Also, a case study of the S. J. Carew building at Memorial University, St. John’s, Newfoundland, is presented.

In low energy buildings, the effect of internal and solar gains on heat balance of rooms is large. As a result, the heating systems, designed assuming steady-state conditions with no heat gains, are over-dimensioned for most of the heating period. This poses a challenge for room-based control systems, especially for thermostatic valves, but also for PI controllers. Using over-dimensioned room units might result in room temperature fluctuations. For finding solutions to this problem by using simulations, correct modelling of the control system together with the room is crucial. Therefore, the aim of this research was to determine the challenges that occur while matching measured and simulated temperature profiles and test the effect of PI control parameters on the calibrated model control accuracy. The experiments were carried out for the underfloor heating system of a test building. The building was simulated in IDA-ICE software and calibration via minimising root mean square error of energy consumption in GenOpt was carried out. The PI parameters were fit by optimisation with objective to simulate the measured temperatures accurately. The effect of the optimized PI parameters was determined by comparison to IDA-ICE default parameters and parameters from Cohen-Coon method.

Due to constantly increasing electricity consumption, networks are becoming overloaded and unstable. Decentralization of power generation using small-scale local cogeneration plants becomes an interesting option to improve economy and energy reliability of buildings in terms of both electricity and heat. It is expected that stationary applications in buildings will be one of the most important fields for fuel cell systems. In northern countries, like Finland, efficient utilization of heat from fuel cells is feasible. Even though the development of some fuel cell systems has already progressed to a field trial stage, relatively little is known about the interaction of fuel cells with building energy systems during a dynamic operation. This issue could be addressed using simulation techniques, but there has been a lack of adequate simulation models. International cooperation under IEA/ECBCS/Annex 42 aims at filling this gap, and the study presented in this paper is part of this effort. Our objective was to provide the means for studying the interaction between a building and a fuel cell system by incorporating a realistic fuel cell model into a building energy simulation. A two-part model for a solid-oxide fuel cell system has been developed. One part is a simplified model of the fuel cell itself. The other part is a system level model, in which a control volume boundary is assumed around a fuel cell power module and the interior of it is regarded as a “black box.” The system level model has been developed based on a specification defined within Annex 42. The cell model (programed in a spreadsheet) provides a link between inputs and outputs of the black box in the system model. This approach allows easy modifications whenever needed. The system level model has been incorporated into the building simulation tool IDA-ICE (Indoor Climate and Energy) using the neutral model format language. The first phase of model implementation has been completed. In the next phase, model validation will continue. The final goal is to create a comprehensive but flexible model, which could serve as a reliable tool to simulate the operation of different fuel cell systems in different buildings.

Energieffektivisering blir en allt viktigare åtgärd på äldre fastigheter i takt med att kostnaden för energi stiger. Att energieffektivisera kan beskrivas som att uppnå samma resultat med mindre energiåtgång, för brukaren resulterar detta i lägre kostnader lagda på inköp av energi och för samhället resulterar detta i en minskad belastning på miljö och klimat. I mitt examensarbete som du håller i din hand har jag undersökt en industrilokal belägen på Teg i Umeå där jag med simuleringsprogrammet IDA ICE simulerat olika energieffektiviseringsåtgärder och hur de skulle påverka byggnadens förbrukning av energi. Åtgärderna som simulerats är: Tilläggsisolering av väggar och tak, byte till FTX-system, byte av fönster samt byte av dörrar och garageportar till mer välisolerade alternativ. Arbetet består till stor del av litteraturstudie och simuleringsprogrammet där en modell av huset har konstruerats för att efterlikna dess verkliga motsvarighet till så stor grad som möjligt. Efter detta har åtgärderna tillämpats och sedan simulerats för att till sist jämföras med referenshusets simulering. Resultatet visar att samtliga åtgärder skulle sänka energiförbrukningen av byggnaden i någon mån. Den största besparingen på 49,3 % skulle fås om man byter ventilationssystem medan den minsta besparingen, 0,7 %, fick man genom att byta fönster.
Reducing the energy consumption in older buildings is growing to be more important by each passing day as the cost of energy rises and political strides are made to limit the amount of energy used for various purposes. To optimize the use of energy in a building can be described as getting the same end result with a lower amount of spent energy, for the user this is an economic victory as he doesn’t have to spend as much money on heating his building while society gains a reduced impact on the environment and climate. In this thesis that you hold in your hands I have investigated an industrial building located in Teg, Umeå where I utilized the simulation software IDA ICE to simulate the buildings energy usage and the effects of various energy optimization/saving measures if implemented. The measures simulated are: Additional insulation for walls and roof, the switch to a ventilation system with a heat recovery unit, switching to well insulated windows, and switching the doors and garage doors to well insulated units. The work has mostly been done through studies of literature and IDA ICE where a model of the building has been constructed according to the specifications of the real world counterpart. The results from the various simulations are then compared with each other and the reference case. The results showed that all energy saving measures would result in a lowered use of energy. The biggest saving was gained from the changing out the ventilation system which resulted in a 49,3 % reduction whilst changing windows only resulted in a 0,7 % reduction.

Sektorn bostäder och service står för cirka fyrtio procent av Sveriges totala energianvändning. Bostadsbeståndet innefattar en stor del småhus, därmed är en reducering av energianvändningen från småhus av stor vikt för att minska klimatpåverkan från sektorn. Den största potentialen för att reducera klimatpåverkan från en byggnads livscykel är att i ett tidigt skede åtgärda och ta hänsyn till energi- och klimatfrågor vid projektering. Därmed är hög energiprestanda som mått på energieffektivitet av yttersta vikt för att projektera småhus med lägre energianvändning. Det övergripande syftet med denna studie är att bidra med kunskaper om byggnadstekniska åtgärder och val som krävs för att bygga energieffektiva småhus. Studien har utförts med en parametrisk studie i simuleringsprogrammet IDA ICE och handberäkningar för att utvärdera hur ett småhus energiprestanda påverkas av ändrade isoleringsdimensioner, reducerade köldbryggor, reducerade U-värden för fönster, olika ytterväggstyper samt geografisk placering. Resultaten av simuleringarna visar att det finns goda förutsättningar för småhusaktörer att påverka energiprestandan. Behovet av värme och den köpta energin kan reduceras genom modifieringar av klimatskalet. Simuleringarna visar att en ökning av isoleringstjockleken i ytterväggen endast innebär en marginell förbättring av husets energiprestanda när referenskonstruktionen redan är relativt välisolerad i plattan och takbjälklaget. Simuleringarna visar däremot att energiprestandan påverkas markant av köldbryggorna då olika indata har testats i IDA ICE. Felmarginalen vid handberäkning av köldbryggor är dock stor så det är problematiskt att få ett representativt värde vid beräkning av dessa utan simuleringsprogram anpassat för köldbryggor. Resultaten av simuleringarna med reducerade U-värden för fönster visade på en marginell minskning av primärenergitalet, eftersom referensbyggnadens fönster redan har relativt bra U-värden och framförallt G-värden. Samt att fönsterarean utgör en relativt låg del av byggnadens totala area. Byggnaden med träregelvägg uppvisade bäst resultat av energiprestanda jämfört med huset av massivträ- och lättregelvägg i simuleringen med olika ytterväggstyper. Detta trots en lägre total väggtjocklek. Simuleringarna med ändrad geografisk position visade på en stor variation av primärenergitalet där Kiruna fick betydligt lägre primärenergital jämfört med referensorten Ängelholm. Resultaten förklaras av att de geografiska justeringsfaktorerna helt eller delvis utjämnar skillnaden mellan klimaten. Resultaten av energisimuleringen visar också att resultaten påverkas till en stor del av den indata och antaganden som användaren av programmet tar ställning till. Exempel på detta kan vara alltifrån antalet brukare som ska förväntas använda huset, till innetemperatur, belysning och annan typ av utrustning. För fortsatta studier föreslås bland annat LCA-kalkyler för byggmaterialen och ekonomiska analyser av förändringar av klimatskärmen.
The housing and service sector accounts for about 40 percent of Sweden's total energy use. Thus, a reduction in energy use from housing construction is of great importance in order to reduce the climate impact from the sector. The greatest potential for reducing the climate impact of a building's life cycle is to address and take energy and climate issues into accountat an early stage when designing new single-family homes. Thus, high energy performance as a measure of energy efficiency for detached houses is of utmost importance for designing detached houses with lower energy use.The overall purpose of this study is to contribute knowledge about constructional technical measures and choices required to design energy-efficient detached houses. The study was conducted with a parametric study in the simulation program IDA ICE and manual calculations to evaluate how a detached house's energy performance is affected by changed insulation dimensions, reduced thermal bridges, reduced U-values for windows, different exterior wall types and geographical location.The results of the simulations show that there are good possibilities for detached house owners to influence energy performance. The need for heat and the purchased energy can be reduced through modifications of the climate shield in the house. The simulations show that an increase in the insulation thickness in the exterior wall only affects a marginal improvement of the house's energy performance when the reference structure is already relatively well insulated in the slab and the roof. However, the simulation with reduced thermal bridges has a greater impact. The simulations show that the energy performance is significantly affected by the thermal bridges as various data inputs have been tested in IDA ICE. The margin of error in manual calculations of thermal bridges are complex, so it is problematic to obtain a representative value when calculating these without simulation programs adapted for thermal bridges. The results of the simulations with reduced U-values for windows showed a marginal decrease in the energy performance, since the reference building windows already have relatively good U-values and G-values. And that the window area constitutes a relatively low part of the building's total area.The building with a wooden stud wall showed the best results of energy performance compared to the house of solid wood and light stud wall in the simulation with different exterior wall types. This despite a lower total wall thickness. The simulations with a changed geographical position showed a large variation in the primary energy result, where Kiruna received significantly lower primary energy compared with the reference location Ängelholm. The results are explained by the fact that the geographical adjustment factors completely or partially even out the difference between the climates. The results of the energy simulation also show that the results are affected to a large extent by the input data and assumptions that the user of the program decides on. Examples of this can be from the number of users who are to be expected to use the house, to indoor temperature, lighting and other types of equipment.For further studies, LCA calculations for the building materials and economic analyzes of changes in the climate shield are proposed.

Buildings play a central role for livability and carbon footprint of urban areas. Ambitious energy saving and emission reduction targets created a need for a new generation of decisionsupport methods and tools that allow for detailed analysis of urban energy on a large scale. Urban building energy modeling (UBEM) that has emerged recently is an efficient approach to assess energy performance of multiple buildings and system effects from urban energy interventions. However, the further upscale of UBEMs is significantly limited due to the lack of automation for building energy performance (BEP) simulations required for such models in large amounts. This thesis aimed to explore challenges for automation of BEP simulations, and to develop a prototype tool that would serve as a middleware between UBEM and BEP simulation engine, focusing on the IDA ICE simulation software. The result of this thesis is icepy — a tool for automation of BEP simulations in IDA ICE. It uses IDA ICE API and Lisp scripting to provide interaction between UBEM process and IDA ICE in order to generate initial simulation model (IDM), execute simulation and manage results in an automated way. Being implemented as a Python package, it allows to modify multiple IDMs or export simulation results with a few lines of code. The developed tool has been tested and validated for the case building in Minneberg, Stockholm. The automation capabilities provided by icepy has allowed to perform sensitivity analysis for building design parameters as was demonstrated for the window-to-wall ratio (WWR) and three various algorithms for window distribution. The resulting tool has limited functionality as it addressed building envelopes which is only one component of building simulation. However, it has proved to be an efficient approach to automate simulation process and has shown a good potential for further development of such tools.
Byggnader spelar en central roll för urbana områdens levbarhet och koldioxidavtryck. Ambitiösa mål för energibesparing och utsläppsminskning har skapat ett behov av en ny generation beslutsstödmetoder och verktyg som möjliggör detaljerad analys av städers energianvändning i stor skala. Urban byggnadsenergimodellering (UBEM) har nyligen utvecklats och är ett effektivt tillvägagångssätt för att bedöma energiprestanda för flera byggnader och systemeffekter för olika energiåtgärder inom den urban miljön. Den ytterligare uppskalningen av UBEM är dock begränsad på grund av bristen på automation av simulering som är inriktade på byggnadsenergiprestanda (BEP), vilket krävs för att hantera stora byggnadsbestånd. Det här examensarbetet syftar till att utforska utmaningar med automatisering av BEP-simuleringar och att utveckla en prototyp som ska fungera som en mellanprogramvara mellan UBEM och BEP-simuleringsmotorer, med fokus på IDA ICE(som är en simuleringsprogramvara). Resultatet av examensarbetet är icepy, som är ett verktyg för att automatisera BEP-simuleringar i IDA-ICE. Icepy använder IDA ICE API och Lispskript för att tillhandahålla interaktion mellan UBEM-processen och IDA ICE för att generera en initial simuleringsmodell (IDM), utför själva simuleringen och slutligen hanterar resultatet på ett automatiserat sätt. Genom att icepy implementeras som ett Pythonpaket kan den modifiera flera IDM:er och även exportera simuleringsresultat med några få kodrader. Området Minneberg i Stockholm har använts i en fallstudie för att validera och testa verktyget. Automatiseringsfunktionerna i icepy har möjliggjort känslighetsanalyser för olika byggnadsdesignparametrar, exempelvis studerades påverkan av olika värden på förhållandet mellan fönster och väggar genom användning av tre olika algoritmer för fönsterdistributioner. Det utvecklade verktyget har begränsningar i funktionalitet framförallt på grund av att enbart byggnadens ytterskal studerades i byggnadsenergisimuleringarna. Verktyget har dock visat sig vara ett effektivt tillvägagångssätt för att automatisera simuleringsprocesser, vilket visar på en god potential att också vidareutveckla dessa verktyg.

Recently, the environmental policy makers have realized that the building sector is the largest end-use sector with a significant percentage of the environmental load of human activities. What is more, according to official sources, it is necessary a reduction in the building sector of 88-91% of greenhouse gas emissions in order to achieve the goals established by the European Roadmap 2050. That is why laws such as the Directive 2010/31/EU are coming up. That directive says that all member states shall ensure that all new buildings are near zero energy buildings (nZEB) by December 31st, 2019. Therefore, the aim of this master thesis is the design of a nZEB in different climate zones around Spain. All near zero energy buildings designed meet the requirements established by the Spanish technical building code (CTE). In regard to the supply system, a facility is developed by means of IDA ICE consisting of a heat pump connected to an outdoor pool and a ground heat exchanger. The operation of the ground heat exchanger will depend on the temperature of the swimming pool. Finally, it is explained if the swimming pool can work as a heat source for each location studied.

On behalf of GATE Intelligent Support AB an energy audit has been conducted in the spring of 2015. The project was to develop an energy audit at an industrial premise in Vännäs municipality. Vännäs Fastigheter AB is the owner of this venue and has recently received complaints from tenants about an cold indoor climate in the property. Furthermore, it emerged that the property's future energy supply of heating is uncertain. Therefore a separate project to find an alternative heating sources solution has been initialized. This report will place great emphasis on changes, which lead to an improved indoor climate as to energy savings. To achieve this plan and to make it more understandable the simulation program IDA ICE has been used throughout the whole paper. Additionally, economic calculations for an LCC-analysis including repayment time has been done to compare the measures easier. Results from this project have demonstrated that this industrial premise can when all energy saving measures are carried out, reduce their energy consumption from 299 MWh per year to 129 MWh per year. This means a total decrease of 56.9%. The inspection of the property reveals shortcomings in the existing heating system. The current radiator system was configured wrong which resulted in a significant reduction of the heat outcome. This was not just done by changing settings of the radiator system but as well by adjusting the ventilationsystem to the business conditions of the property.

Diös fastigheter is Northern Sweden's largest private real estate company. The bulk of the company's holdings constists of centrally located retail, industrial and office buildings, 23 of which are located in Umeå. Diös fastigheter works continuosly to decrease energy consumption in their building stock. One part of this work is to pursue the Greenbuildning environmental certification for buildings. This paper examines a building named Stigbygeln 2, situated on Dragonfältet i Umeå, currently rented by the logistics company PostNord. The energy consumption last year was approximately 290 kWh per square meter. This paper examines the reasons for the high energy consumption and which measures to increase energy-efficiency yield the largest energy-savings at the lowest cost.   At the present time Stigbygeln 2 is connected to the municipal district heating network, and distric heating is utilized as heating source to warm the inlet air of the ventilation system, which in turn warms a significant portion of the facilities found in the building. Heating of supply air constitutes 85% of the total heat load, and there is no system for heat recovery.   Stigbygeln has been constructed in the simulation tool IDA ICE in accordance with known conditions, and different measures to increase efficiency have been investigated, individually as well as combined. Through LCC analysis, savings resulting from decreased energy consumption have been weighed against the initial investment cost and the operational cost.   The result shows that a switch to FXT ventilation would yield the largest energy savings, 57%, and that this is also the financially most advantageous route. Conversion to geothermal heating reduces energy consumption by 37%, but is not economically viable. A swith to LED lighting is a measure that yields a good return on the investment cost and lowers energy consumption by 7%. The savings are greatest when a change of ventilation system is combined with a change to LED lighting.

Under tidsperioden 1965-1974 byggdes i Sverige omkring en miljon nya bostäder, även kallat för Miljonprogrammet. Idag utgörs närmare en tredjedel av det svenska bostadsbeståndet av bostäder från denna period och många byggnader börjar uppnå sin tekniska livslängd. Sverige har efter EU-direktiv tagit fram nationella mål om en effektivare energianvändning. För att snabbare nå dessa mål kan renovering och upprustning av miljonprogrammet kombineras med våningspåbyggnad.   Sverige står också inför växande bostadsbrist, likt under miljonprogrammet, samtidigt som samhället har begränsade ytor såväl i stadskärnor som i tätorter. Genom att rusta upp bostäder från miljonprogrammet i samband med en våningspåbyggnad kan nya bostäder skapas på ett resurseffektivt sätt och energiprestandan för den befintliga byggnaden förbättras.   I det här projektet har energiprestandan för ett tidstypiskt flerbostadshus utvärderats och därefter jämförts mot då flerbostadshuset utrustats med en våningspåbyggnad. Projektet tilldelades ett referenshus i Nacka som efter uppbyggnad och simulering i programvaran IDA ICE resulterade i en årlig energianvändning på 197,1 kWh/m2. En våningspåbyggnad lades till på referenshuset och visade efter simulering i programvaran IDA ICE en ny årlig energianvändning på bland annat 169,7 kWh/m2.   Efter projektet stod det klart att med en våningspåbyggnad kan energiprestanda för ett miljonprogramshus förbättras och i bästa fall kan en byggnad likt referenshuset gå från en energiklass G till E. Bostadsförtätning med hjälp av våningspåbyggnad är gynnsam ur många aspekter. Förutom att det sänker den totala byggnadens energianvändning skapar det också nya bostäder på ett resurseffektivt sätt. Samhället måste försöka skapa incitament för fastighetsägare till att renovera och hitta energieffektiva åtgärder för sina fastigheter. Ett sådant exempel skulle kunna vara tredimensionell fastighetsbildning vilket även är en alternativ form till att finansiera investeringar som exempelvis renoveringar.
During the years 1965-1974 around one million new housing were built in Sweden, this was also known as the “miljonprogrammet”. Today, nearly a third of the Swedish housing stock is from this particular period, and many buildings are reaching the end of their technical lifetime. After the new EU directives Sweden have decided on developing it's on national goals to achieve smart energy consumption. To speed up this development can the renovations of the existing "miljonprogrammet" executed in combination with storey extension.   Sweden is also facing growing housing shortage, much like during construction of the “miljonprogrammet” as well as limited areas both in urban and densely populated areas. By refurbishing buildings from the “miljonprogrammet” in conjunction with a storey extension, new housing can be built in a resource and energy efficient way. This should also improve the energy performance of the existing building.   In this project, the energy performance of an apartment building, typical from this time, was evaluated and then compared to a modified building with a storey extension. A reference house located in Nacka, Sweden was used to simulate the annual energy usage in the software IDA ICE. The simulation yielded an energy usage of 197.1 kWh/m2 for the reference building and 167.1 kWh/m2 for the building with a storey extension.   After the project it became clear that a storey extension on a building from the “miljonprogrammet” improved the existing building's energy consumption. At best, a building like the reference house can improve the energy classification from energy class G to E. Residential densification using storey extension is beneficial in many aspects. In addition to lowering the total energy consumption of the building it also creates new homes in a resource efficient manner. Society must seek to create enticements for property owners to renovate and execute energy efficient measures on their properties. One such example would be three-dimensional property formation which is also an alternative form of financing investment such as a renovation.

Samhället idag är beroende av energi för att fungera och att eftersträva utveckling av förnybar energi bör ha högsta prioritet. År 2013 produceras 81,6% av världens totala energi av fossila bränslen. Bostads- och servicesektorn står idag för 38 % av Sveriges totala energianvändning. På grund av att bostäder och lokaler står för så stor del av energianvändningen är det väldigt viktigt att ha noggrann koll på energiprestandan av byggnader och lokaler samt vilka energieffektiviseringar som kan utföras. Sörbyskolan är belägen i södra delen av Gävle och fastigheten ägs och förvaltas av Gavlefastigheter. År 2015 planerar Gavlefastigheter en renovering av Sörbyskolan och vill ta fram energieffektiviseringsförslag. Skolan är uppdelad på sex byggnader som inkluderar en matsal, en gymnastiksal, en förskola och tre andra skolbyggnader. I denna rapport har förskolan med tillhörande passage undersökts. Förskolan och passagen är ett envåningshus med en area på 883 m2. Speciellt för passagen är att den är uppvärmd med direktverkande elenergi. Undersökningen har skett i simuleringsprogrammet IDA Indoor Climate and Energy. Boverket har satt upp riktlinjer och krav för hur mycket energi nybyggda lokaler och bostäder får använda beroende på vilken klimatzon byggnaden befinner sig i. Gävleborg befinner sig i klimatzon II och lokaler i denna klimatzon får max använda 100 kWh/m2, år. En basmodell av hur bygganden ser ut idag skapades för att identifiera vart de största energiförlusterna sker. Sedan jämfördes olika energieffektiviseringar med basmodellen för att se hur mycket energi som potentiellt skulle kunna sparas. Basmodellen skapades genom att få fram information om byggnaden och mata in i IDA ICE. Informationen skaffades bl.a. genom en fysisk undersökning, intervjuer, jämförelse med andra byggnader på Sörbyskolan m.m. Arbetet visar fördelningen av till- och bortförd energi i byggnaden och vilka energieffektiviseringsåtgärder som är mest lämpliga för att minska energianvändningen. Resultatet pekar på att byta till nya energieffektiva fönster ger den största energibesparingen och totalt sparas 19,8 kWh/m2,år. Om alla energieffektiviseringsåtgärder utförs ger det en energibesparing på 37,8 kWh/m2,år. Det har gjorts mycket antaganden och uppskattningar för att skapa basmodellen vilket gör att den skiljer sig en del ifrån verkligheten. För att få en mer korrekt modell skulle fler fysiska undersökningar och mätningar behöva utföras på byggnaden.
Today’s society is very dependent on energy to function and to pursue development of renewable energy should have the highest priority. In 2013 81.6 % of the total produced energy in the world came from fossil fuels. The residential and service sector stands for 38 % of Sweden’s total energy use. Due to that fact it’s very important to have careful track of the energy performance of buildings and premises and what energy efficiencies can be applied. The school is located in south of Gävle and the property is owned and managed by Gavlefastigheter. In 2015 Gavlefastigheter is planning a renovation of the school and wants to develop energy efficiency proposals. The school is divided into six buildings which includes a dining hall, a gymnasium, a preschool and three other school buildings. In this rapport the preschool with appurtenant passage have been examined. The preschool and the passage is a one story building with an area of 883 m2. Particularly for the passage is that it’s heated with direct electricity. The survey have been conducted in a simulation program called IDA Indoor Climate and Energy. Boverket has set up guidelines and requirements for how much energy the newly built premises and residences may use depending on which climate zone the building is located. Gävleborg is located in climate zone II and premises in this climate zone may use a maximum of 100 kWh/m2 per year. A base model of the buildings current state were created to identify where the biggest energy losses occur. Afterwards the different energy efficiency proposals were compared with the base model to see how much energy could be saved. The base model were created by collecting data to IDA ICE. The data was collected by a physical inspection, interviews, comparison with another building on the school of Sörby etc. This work shows the distribution of supplied and xx energy in the building and what energy efficiency action that is most suitable to reduce the energy use. The result points to switching to new energy efficient windows gives the biggest savings in energy and a total of 19.8 kWh/m2, year can be saved. If all proposals is performed that will give a total saving of 37.8 kWh/m2, year. There have been a lot of assumptions and estimates to create the base model which makes it somewhat different from reality. To get a more correct model more physical examinations and measurements would be needed.

Detta projekt har som syfte att analysera en kommande renovering av en kontorsbyggnad i Boden under Fortifikationsverkets ägo. Projektet använder sig av programvarorna IDA Indoor Climate and Energy och Revit för att simulera byggnaden som den kommer att se ut efter att renoveringen är utförd. På detta sätt kan Fortifikationsverket utvärdera den utförda renoveringen med referensvärden tillhandahållna av detta projekt. Projektet introducerar läsaren till Revit samt simuleringsprogrammet IDA ICE och visar hur energianvändning kan simuleras för byggnader man önskar renovera. Ritningar, en energibesiktning av huset och uppmätta värden för tidigare år utgör underlaget för simuleringen och där värden inte finns tillgängliga görs antaganden. Den stundande renoveringen består av ett nytt ventilationssystem och strikta riktlinjer satta av Fortifikationsverket följs då renovering utförs. Renoveringen kommer att beröra tätning av byggnaden, sänkning av rumstemperaturer, effektivisering av belysning samt installation av effektivare fläktar, kylaggregat och värmeväxlare. Projektet finner att den stundande renoveringen sänker byggnadens årliga energianvändning med ca 31 %, uppvärmning och elförbrukning ingår i denna energianvändning och sänks med ca 29 % respektive 33 %. Byggnadens årliga uppvärmning och elförbrukning efter renovering fås till 409 009 kWh respektive 446 905 kWh. Av renoveringens olika åtgärder finner projektet att värmeåtervinning i ventilationssystemet hade överlägset störst verkan på uppvärmningen. Angående elförbrukningen hade effektivare belysning och effektivare fläktar störst verkan.
The purpose of this project is to analyze an upcoming renovation of an office building in Boden, owned by Fortifikationsverket. The project makes use of the software IDA Indoor Climate and Energy and Revit to simulate the building as it will function after completed renovation. This way Fortifikationsverket has a reference value to use when evaluating the actual performance of the building. The project introduces the reader to Revit as well as to the simulation program IDA ICE and shows how energy consumption may be simulated when one wishes to renovate a building. Drawings, an energy report and measured energy consumption act as the basis for the simulation and where values are not available assumptions are made. The upcoming renovation consists of a new HVAC system and rules set forth by Fortifikationsverket which are to be followed when a building under their regime is renovated. These rules consists of reducing air leakage, lowering room temperature and installing more effective lightning, fans, heat exchangers and air cooling. The project finds that the upcoming renovation lowers the yearly energy consumption of the building by approximately 31 %, heating and electricity are included in this energy consumption and are lowered by approximately 29 % and 33 % respectively. The yearly use of heating and electricity is found to be 409 009 kWh and 446 905 kWh respectively. Of the various measures taken by the renovation the heat recovery is found to be the most effective. The electricity consumption was lowered most by more effective lightning and fans.
