Kühlung im Wohnbau - Variantenstudie

Project: Contract research

Project Details

Description

Due to climate change, the cooling of residential buildings is becoming increasingly important. This project conducts a comparative study on the cooling energy demand of various systems in residential buildings. Different passive measures, supply systems, and emission systems are compared and evaluated in terms of energy efficiency. Based on the project results, requirements for the cooling of residential buildings can be formulated for future assessments and funding programs.

Key findings

The previous assumption that residential buildings can maintain comfortable temperatures without active cooling through appropriate design is no longer tenable in light of current climate developments. While passive measures remain efficient and necessary, they are no longer sufficient. Passive cooling via the ground or groundwater enables buildings to be cooled efficiently and made future-ready.
