The final iSERV public workshop was held in cooperation with CIBSE on April 10th, 2014. The workshop allowed participants to take a world first look at the energy end use of HVAC components in practice across the EU. The aim of the workshop was to disseminate the final iSERV project…
Close to the project end, iSERVcmb results will be presented to REHVA Members and Supporters on the REHVA Annual conference “Energy efficient, smart and healthy buildings” 30 April 2014 in Düsseldorf. [more] +++ The scope of the conference will be to offer various stakeholders – researchers, industry, building owners, end…
The public workshop will take place in Store Street in London on Thursday April 10th. Public workshops for stakeholders (building owners and administrators, HVAC system designers, manufacturers and inspectors and legislators) are a key part of the iSERV communication strategy. The concept is to briefly introduce the work previously done,…
The fourth annual Technical Symposium “Moving to a New World of Building Systems“ will take place April 3-4, 2014 in Dublin and aims to encourage the participation of young and experienced researchers and industry practitioners to share experiences and develop networks. Recognizing that system and plant performance is a global…
Multiple point IAQ measurements in office buildings over time indicated that while IAQ might vary due to different behaviours of people, or different use, the CO2 levels showed insignificant variation. In contrast, VOC levels exhibited slightly higher variations, due to the existence of differing types of VOC sources. In Supermarket…
As a partner in the iSERVcmb project, MacWhirter Limited – a UK air conditioning contractor – have been undertaking Inspections of air-conditioning systems throughout the EU in various climatic conditions. The 44 systems inspected to date (out of 80 expected) have been shown to have a mixture good, poor or…
One goal of iSERV project is to provide an automatic tool that enables the user to detect the weaknesses of its HVAC system and to assess potential savings through modelling. The tool is based on some information data provided about the system and the associated building as well as on…
Monitoring the energy performance in the tertiary building sector is challenging, especially in large-scale retail chain. In Italy, since the beginning of 2012, shops could stay open 24 hours per day, 7 days per week. This had a huge impact on large scale retail chains. Actually, the shops are opened…
