Project Manager
The Sustainable Summer Comfort project aims to demonstrate that the problem of overheating in buildings can be avoided with less primary energy consumption than with conventional active cooling systems: thanks to appropriate construction techniques and the use of renewable sources for cooling.
The project is led by the Thomas More. The other partners involved are TU Eindhoven, TU Delft, KU Leuven, Zuyderland, Extraqt, TVVL, Embuild Vlaanderen.
Project goals:
During the project, we will demonstrate and analyse a wide range of energy-efficient and renewable cooling strategies in 14 buildings, including 4 renovations.
- Set up and implement demonstrations in renovation of various building typologies in Flanders and the Netherlands. Monitor energy performance and efficiency at 鈥渆xample buildings鈥�, together with data from these projects, provide insight into the properties, conditions of use, energy performance, costs and comfort level of various systems.
- Inform building owners, users, companies and governments about renewable and energy-efficient systems with an impact on cooling comfort and also let them experience this.
- Stimulate and support building owners, policy makers and companies from the construction sector in the choice of switching to or implementing a renewable and energy-efficient system for cooling buildings.
- Develop material to provide companies and students with the knowledge and encourage them to use the concrete application of renewable and energy-efficient techniques.
