VIENNA (Virtual Energy Negawatt Application)
|
To operate properties in an optimal way, modern buildings require integrated concepts directed at power supplies and room conditioning. With regard to an increasing number of applications in the range of renewable energies and more dynamic and decentralised energy generation in the future, new concepts focussed on the coordination between energy generation, energy distribution and energy consumption gain in importance. Beside so-called “Virtual Power Plants” which are composed of a number of decentralised energy generation units linked to grid and common IT-processes, “Virtual Energy Supplies” serving as actuating variables for energy consumption – and therefore for economic operation – based on the management of on-site energy demand are conceivable (Nega-Watt-Power-Plant, Demand Side Management).
Constitution and scope
The University of Applied Sciences Biberach starts a new program of study called “Pharmazeutische Biotechnologie (PBT)” in 2006/2007. For that purpose, the university receives a new building (approx. 3.900m² gross floor space, therefrom approx. 2.100m² designated used space) containing offices, seminar rooms, lecture rooms and laboratories for teachings and research according to biotechnology.
The utilisation-mix of the building consisting of laboratories, offices and seminar rooms is not only typical for an university, but also for research establishments and industrial firms of many category groups and industries. So the building allegorises an exemplarily and capable building for new research beginnings.
Aims
The ambition of this research project is to design novel beginnings of innovative concepts regarding energy supply and operation management to the point of “virtual energy supply”. Within the scope of a followed-up project, these novel beginnings are supposed to be proven prototypicaly at the new development PBT. |
