Event on Energy Efficiency and flexibility

The main topic of the event was energy consumption i buildings and the questions raised were: How can energy consumption be reduced due to buildings using around 38% of Denmark’s energy consumption? And how can energy consumption i buildings be more flexible due more sustainable energy sources?

The event addressed two subtopics performance tests and energy flexible buildings.

After this there was a tour of OU44 a new building for teaching at University of Southern Denmark fitted with various measuring equipment and functioning as a living lab for the research in Center for Energy Informatics among others the COORDICY project.

After lunch the topic was intelligent and energy flexible buildings. First off was Richard Schalburg from Dansk Energi who introduced the audience to the new building directive.
