There are two major uncertainties affecting the decision-making process for retrofitting measures based on building simulations. These are climatic conditions and energy resources in the future. Most designers or simulators produce results for the present situation using statistical weather data and current economic values. This way is objective an...
The determination of the optimal energy supply system and the selection of energy producers are two major challenges in the energy transformation of districts. This paper addresses these issues, presenting a holistic approach to compare and optimize district heating supply and decentralized heat supply, which is applicable to arbitrary districts. F...
The need to accelerate energy retrofitting and integrate renewable energies in the built environment sector has been recognized by the European Union and its member states, with many policies and directives already in place. However, compared with single building retrofitting, there are no established approaches for energy retrofitting at district...

This article draws an innovative architectural solution for enhanced energy efficiency by retrofitting ensembles of listed buildings. A combination of various simulation tools and a self-developed feasibility tool has been used at the preliminary design stage to develop a measure at an urban scale within the campus of TU Berlin.
First, a potential...
Energy retrofitting of listed buildings requires a rethink as it is economically and technically complicated to retrofit. The Technische Universität Berlin has 47 buildings with a total net floor area above 500.000 m ² in its central campus, and 60% of them are listed. In Germany, optimizing the energy efficiency of such buildings has not to fulfil...

Noch werden in Berlin, wie in vielen anderen Großstädten auch, 96 % der Wärme aus fossilen
Brennstoffen gewonnen. Da Wärme für 57 % des gesamten Endenergieverbrauchs in
Deutschland verantwortlich ist - wovon wiederum mehr als 50 % für die Deckung des
Raumwärmebedarfs benötigt wird - ist sowohl das Ersetzten fossiler Energie durch
regenerative Energ...
This article draws a comparison between the described approach and a single-zone modelling approach with fitted parameters. The fundamental differences – accuracy, simulation times, preparation effort – of the modelling strategies are discussed.
A multi-zone approach to model existing buildings within the scope of district simulation for the implem...
A climate envelope is a place for living. It offers comfortable conditions, protected from the changing outside world. In other words, it is a permanently „climate-adapted“ living space. From an architectural point of view, the term climate envelope describes the combination of a building with an additional transparent external envelope. The envelo...

Würden Sie ein Fenster trotz chaotischer Bedingungen außerhalb des Gebäudes wirklich gerne öffnen? Exzessiver Lärm, schlechte Wetterbedingungen, dreckige bis stinkende Luft, unbefriedigende optische Eindrück... Nicht überall, wo unter angenehmen klimatischen Bedingungen die Fenster geöffnet werden könnten, ist es empfehlenswert dies auch zu tun. Ei...
A significant contribution to climate change adaptation can be achieved through using regional resources, which are not assessed till now; for instance through storage and using local waste energy by means of desiccants. Therefore, it is planned to build a new thermal energy network in a developing region in Berlin.
The basic principle is using the...
This work results from the doctoral thesis, where
residential houses in Bodrum have been analyzed
energetically using the simulation software
DesignBuilder. Bodrum is a characteristic city in the
Mediterranean zone, and obtains optimum conditions
for energy efficient design. It is under the influence
of the Mediterranean climate, has hot and arid
s...
There is much to be learned from traditional buildings while improving them for contemporary needs. With the change of climatic, structural and physical conditions of buildings as well as inhabitants with different life styles, energy consumption in such buildings have increased. At the same time, contemporary buildings are being built generally wi...
Das Hauptziel der Arbeit ist neue architektonische Konzepte zur Verwendung der erneuerbaren Energiequellen zu entwickeln, indem man den Wohnungssektor in Bodrum untersucht. Bodrum ist eine charakteristische Stadt in der ägäischen Region der Türkei, wo landestypischer Stadtplan und Bauart nachhaltige Umweltstruktur ermöglichen. Der Energieverbrauch...
The main aim of this work is to develop new architectural concepts for using renewable energy resources by evaluating the housing settlements in Bodrum, a characteristic city in the Aegean Region of Turkey, where the vernacular urban and architectural patterns provide useful hints for designing more sustainable environments. The energy consumption...

It is necessary to react not only with administrative solutions against pandemic situations like the case with Covid 19.
It is clear that architecture is a form of knowledge. In this regard, some planners/architects think that building a building is already a research. Nevertheless, there are theses that seperates architecture and research completely.
I would like to get your opinion about it...
