Section of Energy and Services
The Section of Energy and Services focuses on research, development and testing in all energy and moisture related aspects for new and existing buildings on both district and building scale.
Buildings must be designed, maintained, operated, and refurbished to provide a functional, comfortable and healthy environment for human activity while meeting sustainability requirements for energy efficiency, durability, and economic viability.
Studies are performed on the building envelope, climate conditioning systems and energy systems to develop the scientific foundation for buildings that are:
- Energy efficient
- Sustainable
- Moisture-safe
- Energy-flexible
- Resilient
- Comfortable and healthy
One of the central activities in the section is to describe the interaction between energy demand, energy supply and indoor environment in order to support the development of building components, design methods and energy systems.
Energy supply systems in the form of solar energy systems and district heating form relevant parts of the research, which includes optimized use of sustainable energy through load shifting and thermal storage.
