Les enjeux énergétiques et environnementaux liés au réchauffement climatique amènent à généraliser la sobriété énergétique des bâtiments neufs ainsi que la production locale d’énergie à l’horizon 2020. Ce travail de thèse se concentre sur le secteur de la maison individuelle qui représente près de la moitié des logements neufs construits en France pour un volume d’environ 200000 unités par an.Le contexte de la maison individuelle à énergie positive 100 % solaire consiste à rechercher les compromis entre le niveau de performance du bâti qui détermine les besoins en énergie et la capacité des équipements à valoriser l’énergie solaire pour d’une part subvenir aux besoins en chaleur pour assurer le chauffage et la production d’eau chaude sanitaire, et d’autre part produire l’électricité nécessaire à l’éclairage et aux autres usages spécifiques (matériels électroménager, vidéo, etc.). Après un examen des différents concepts de bâtiments à énergie positive, une analyse a été menée pour identifier les solutions techniques de systèmes solaires combinés capables de fournir le double service de production d’eau chaude et de chauffage. Un modèle détaillé a été développé dans l’environnement Dymola et vérifié par inter-comparaison de modèles à l’échelle des composants. Un algorithme de contrôle original a été mis au point pour maximiser la performance globale du système.Une première étude paramétrique a montré que ce système est capable dans certaines conditions de couvrir près de 80 % des besoins en chaleur de la maison étudiée. Néanmoins, son dimensionnement demeure complexe et la recherche de compromis entre la sobriété de la maison et le dimensionnement des systèmes solaires thermiques et photovoltaïques doit s’appuyer sur un algorithme d’optimisation multi-objectifs adapté.Un chapitre est donc consacré à l’élaboration d’un algorithme d’optimisation multi- objectifs qui s’appuie sur la méthode des colonies d’abeilles virtuelles. Cette approche s’est avérée particulièrement pertinente vis à vis du problème (paramètres discrets, continus et qualitatifs) à caractère multiobjectifs(maximiser la valorisation du solaire thermique pour le chauffage d’une part et pour la production d’eau chaude d’autre part, minimiser la consommation d’énergie conventionnelle) et sous contrainte car seules les solutions à bilan d’énergie positif sur l’année seront retenues. L’algorithme d’optimisation développé ici a été confronté à une série de problèmes classiques et a démontré sa capacité à construire l’ensemble des solutions avec un nombre relativement faible d’évaluations du modèle.Le dernier chapitre présente deux applications de conception de maisons à énergie positive. La première se situe en région bordelaise alors que la seconde est située à proximité de Strasbourg. Ces deux conditions climatiques permettent de mettre en évidence la capacité de l’algorithme d’optimisation à proposer un éventail de solutions optimales présentant des compromis différents en termes de performance du bâti et de dimensionnement des équipements solaires. Enfin, un outil d’aide à la décision permet d’explorer les fronts optimaux pour dégager les solutions à retenir. / With energy-related and environmental climate change challenges, energy sobriety and local energy production are yet to become a mainstream practice for new buildings construction by 2020. This works focuses on single-family houses which in France represent half of new buildings constructions with 200000 new units new units each year. Near zero energy single-family houses with 100 % solar energy consists on compromising between performance of building envelope which defines energy needs and the ability for equipments to value free solar energy. Hence solar energy must be able to cover space heating and domestic hot waterdemands but also provide enough energy for lightning and other specific uses such as domestic appliances.After a literature review of near zero energy house concepts, an analysis was undertaken to providea clear view of solar combi-systems technical solutions with the ability to provide enough energyfor both needs : space heating and domestic hot water. Using Dymola environment a detailed modelwas developed and its consistency was checked by inter-comparison at component scale. An innovative control algorithm has been worked out to maximize the solar system’s global performance. Afirst parametric study has shown that the system was able to cover close to 80 % of house heat requirement. However sizing of a solar combi-system is a complex task and requires to find compromises between building sobriety, solar thermal energy efficiency, and photovoltaics solar energy sizing. Because of the problem’s complexity, a decision aid tool with an appropriate multi-criteria optimizationalgorithm is required.To that end a chapter is dedicated to the development of a multi-criteria optimization algorithm based on artificial bee colony behavior. This approach has proved to be quite effective to solve the problem and to handle continuous, discrete and qualitative decision variables. Chosen solution was constrained to have a positive energy balance and must maximize solar space heating and domestic fraction in a view to reduce total energy consumption. A validation process has also been set up and the developed optimization algorithm has proved its ability to solve standard problems with a fairlyshort number of evaluations. Adopted methodology was illustrated by two applications of the design phase of a near zero energydetached house. First one is located at Bordeaux an second one in Strasbourg. Selected climate conditions emphasize the ability of the proposed approach to identify a wide range of optimal solutions showing differences within the building’s performance as well as the solar system sizing. Lastly a decision aid tool allows to explore optimal front in a convenient way to shape adapted solutions.

I detta examensarbete studeras kommande energikrav för byggnader i Sverige och i synnerhet kraven på specifik energianvändning. Detta mot bakgrund av EU-kommissionens och EU-parlamentets direktiv, EPBD2, om nära nollenergibyggnader 2020. Därefter bearbetas ett förslag på en ny ytterväggskonstruktion som med lägre U-värde än den befintliga ytterväggen ska sänka Fiskarhedenvillans olika hustypers specifika energianvändning. Syftet med sänkningen är att möjliggöra för Fiskarhedenvillan att uppfylla de kommande energikraven. Det är många parametrar som måste uppfyllas och det nya ytterväggsförslaget analyseras förutom ur energisynpunkt även med hänsyn till statik, fukt och kostnad. Beräkningar för statik och specifik energianvändning har gjorts för ett referenshus. Resultatet av att byta ut den befintliga ytterväggskonstruktionen mot det framarbetade förslaget med ca 33 % lägre U-värde gav endast en sänkning med ca 6 % av den specifika energianvändningen. För att sänka referenshusets specifika energianvändning ytterligare bör även resterande delar av klimatskalet förbättras samt ett annat uppvärmningssätt väljas. Avslutningsvis diskuteras resultatet och vi lämnar rekommendationer för fortsatta studier. / This thesis studies future energy requirements for buildings in Sweden and in particular the requirements for specific energy use. This is in light of the European Commission and European Parliament Directive, EPBD2, on nearly-zero energy buildings 2020. A proposal for a new exterior wall construction in Fiskarhedenvillan houses with lower U-value than the existing exterior wall is analyzed. The purpose of the new wall is to reduce the specific energy use to enable Fiskarhedenvillan to meet the future energy requirements. There are many parameters that must be considered. The proposed new exterior wall construction is analyzed not only from the energy point of view but also with regard to statics, moisture and cost. Calculations for the statics and the specific energy use have been made for a reference building. The changed design of the exterior wall resulted in a reduction of the U-value with 33 % but only 6 % of the specific energy use. A further reduction of the specific energy use for the reference house requires improved design of the remaining building envelope and a new heating method. Furthermore the results are discussed and recommendations for further studies are given,

The aim of the diploma thesis is the processing of the design documentation for the construction of a boarding house with nearly zero energy consumption. The plot is located in the cadastre unit Znojmo-Louka, in a buildable area for recreation. The new building is detached, with partial basement, and has two floors. There is a preparation area in the one-storey section, including a dining area. Accommodation units can be found in a two-storey segment. And there is a technical background of the building in the basement. The vertical load-bearing system is made of ceramic blocks and concrete poured fittings used in the basement. The horizontal structures are formed cast-in-place reinforced slabs. The building is covered with a warm flat vegetation roof and a cold roof made of truss girders. The building is insulated with a contact thermal insulation system made of polystyrene. The building is based on deep piles and foundation reinforced concrete strips.

This doctoral thesis proposes a new method of energy retrofitting of existing residential buildings towards nearly zero-energy status. The topic of energy retrofitting of existing buildings is widely discussed and lamented within the European Union and the Member states and is enshrined in the Directive 2010/31/EU. This research is in line with the European Union strategy Europe 2020 which sets targets for climate change and energy sustainability. The thesis describes the study of building energy performance of a pilot energy retrofitted residential building towards nearly zero-energy where progressive design technologies, such as energy modelling, monitoring, building optimisation and verification were used. This case study helped to formulate the recommendations on the effectiveness of various passive and active design methods together with renewable energy systems and after the extensive research it contributes to model and verify the future expectation and energy efficiency requirements of the residential market.

Without decarbonizing cities energy and climate objectives cannot be achieved as cities account for approximately two thirds of energy consumption and emissions. This goal of decarbonizing cities has to be facilitated by promoting net-zero/positive energy buildings and districts and replicating them, driving cities towards sustainability goals. Many projects in smart cities demonstrate novel and groundbreaking low-carbon solutions in demonstration and lighthouse projects. However, as the historical, geographic, political, social and economic context of urban areas vary greatly, it is not always easy to repeat the solution in another city or even district. It is therefore important to look for the opportunities to scale up or repeat successful pilots. The purpose of this paper is to explore common trends in technologies and replication strategies for positive energy buildings or districts in smart city projects, based on the practical experience from a case study in Leipzig—one of the lighthouse cities in the project SPARCS. One of the key findings the paper has proven is the necessity of a profound replication modelling to deepen the understanding of upscaling processes. Three models analyzed in this article are able to provide a multidimensional representation of the solution to be replicated.

Objectives set by the EU means that all buildings after 2020 has to be nearly zero energy buildings. This means that thicker layers of insulation have to be added in the wall construction which makes the wall thicker. It means that the living area will be reduced. Vacuum insulation is a highly effective type of insulation and because of its low thermal conductivity it has the ability to reduce the thickness in wall structures. This project investigates a proposal to apply vacuum insulation in one-storey buildings. In order to achieve the goals of the project, a proposal for a one-storey building was developed. Calculations have been made and the proposal was developed as an alternative to show how to construct a family home containing vacuum insulation. The empirical data was collected through interviews, document analysis and literature studies. The collected data was analyzed together with the theoretical framework that has been developed through literature studies and document analysis. Creating a wall construction containing vacuum insulation as a primary insulation usually means that the wall will be considerably thinner than a wall construction with traditional insulation. This means that living area can be saved. Vacuum insulation has to be protected properly as it is easily punctured where upon it loses the most of its insulation capacity. Vacuum insulation is not common on the Swedish construction market today, this is due to many factors, including its high price. Vacuum insulation is a good problem solver which can be used in bay windows to gain extra space. One can also make use for it in tight spaces. From an economic point of view vacuum insulation offers the greatest advantages in cities where living space is considerably higher than in rural areas. To take part of the work there is no need for prior knowledge about vacuum insulation. The project focuses only on wall structures in the single-storey villas, therefor, no indentations has been made on the floor- and roof structures or other building types. The project only focuses on newly constructed buildings. No calculations are made for moisture or production costs. / Mål uppsatta av EU innebär att samtliga byggnader som uppförs vid år 2020 måste vara nära-nollenergihus. För väggarna i konstruktionen innebär det att tjockare lager av isolering måste adderas vilket ger bredare väggkonstruktioner. Bredare väggkonstruktioner innebär även att boarean minskas. Vakuumisolering är ett högeffektivt isoleringsmaterial som genom sin låga värmeledningsförmåga har möjligheten att minska tjockleken vid väggkonstruktioner på grund av dess tunna skikt. Arbetet utreder ett förslag att applicera vakuumisolering i enplansvillor. För att uppnå arbetets mål har ett förslag på enplansvilla tagits fram. Beräkningar har gjorts och förslaget är framtaget som ett alternativ för att visa hur en villa innehållande vakuumisolering kan utformas. Det empiriska materialet har samlats in genom intervjuer, dokumentanalyser samt litteraturstudier. Empirin analyseras sedan tillsammans med det framtagna teoretiska ramverket genom litteraturstudier och dokumentanalyser. Att skapa en väggkonstruktion med vakuumisolering som primär isolering betyder oftast att väggen blir avsevärt mycket tunnare än en väggkonstruktion av traditionell isolering, vilket betyder att boarea kan sparas. Vakuumisolering måste skyddas på rätt sätt i väggkonstruktioner eftersom materialet lätt punkteras varpå det förlorar den största delen av sin isoleringsförmåga. Idag är inte vakuumisolering utbrett på den svenska byggmarknaden vilket beror på många faktorer, bland annat dess höga pris. Vakuumisolering är en väldigt bra problemlösare som med fördel kan användas i burspråk för att vinna extra utrymme. Det kan även användas i trånga utrymmen som elnischar. Ur ekonomisk synpunkt ger vakuumisolering störst fördel i städer där boarea per kvadratmeter är högre än motsvarande på landsbygden. För att ta del av arbetet krävs inga förkunskaper om vakuumisolering. Arbetet fokuserar endast på väggkonstruktioner i enplansvillor, därför har inga fördjupningar skett på golv- och takkonstruktioner eller andra byggnadstyper. Enbart nybyggnationer av trästommar är utrett. Beräkningar är inte gjorda för fukt och produktionskostnader.

Investigación hemerográfica avalada por la reconstrucción y la deconstrucción de documentos portadores del eco social de un personaje, Francisco Rabal, que ni pasó desapercibido por la sociedad, los escenarios y los platós, ni puede ser ignorado por la historia y los anales del cine, el teatro y la interpretación en general. Han sido utilizados métodos concretos de investigación social de carácter cualitativo, descriptivo e interpretativo; análisis de contenidos de prensa en una investigación rigurosa sobre el tratamiento periodístico visto aquel en el escenario del universo del mensaje y contemplado éste tanto por sí solo como desde la perspectiva hemerográfica, en la que adquiere una importancia extrema la comunicación no verbal, el valor de lo icónico. Los interesados en estas investigaciones encontrarán una herramienta muy válida: la conjunción de periodismo y sociología para que el resultado ofrezca esa visión transversal solamente presente en el ámbito contextualizado de las Ciencias Humanas. / Newspaper investigation guaranteed by the construction and the desconstruction of documents , bearers of the social echo of a character, Francisco Rabal, who neither went unnoticed by the society, the stages and the sets, nor can be ignored by the cinema history and annals, the theatre and the performance in general. Specific methods of social investigation of qualitative, descriptive and interpretative nature have been used: press contents analysis in a rigorous research about the journalistic processing, seen the former in the scene of the universe of the message and considered the latter so much by itself as from the newspaper prospect, in which the non verbal communication, the value of the icon acquires an extreme importance.People interested in these investigations will find a very valid tool: the conjunction of journalism and sociology for the result to offer that cross view only set in the context of Human Sciences.

This thesis investigated application of the heat recovery ventilation using an exhaust air heat pump and a roof top photovoltaic (PV) system for a group of three multi-family houses located in Ludvika, Sunnansjö. The buildings in the existing condition have mechanical ventilation and a centralized heating system consists of a pellet boiler as the main source and an oil boiler as back up. Exhaust air heat pump (EAHP) has been known by the previous relevant researches as an effective solution to promote the energy efficiency in the buildings. Furthermore, reduction in PV cost has made the PV as a financially viable option to be contributed in supplying electricity demand. In this respect, this thesis aimed to calculate the potential of energy saving in the case study using the combination of EAHP and PV. For this purpose, the buildings and the proposed energy system were simulated to enable the comparison of energy demand before and after the renovation. The simulation was gradually progressed through several phases and each stage created the prerequisites of the next. Since the buildings were relatively similar in terms of boundary conditions, one of the buildings were initially modeled and the concluded space heating (SH) demand was extrapolated to the three buildings scope. The simulation of the building was done using 3dimensional thermal model offered by Trnsys3d. The primary results were also calibrated against the available annual fuel consumption data. In the second phase, a pre-developed TRNSYS model of the energy system was completed using the result of previous step as the total SH demand as well as the estimated domestic hot water (DHW) consumption from a stochastic model. This simulation produced the electricity demand profile of the heat pump when the heat pump provided the total heat demand. Subsequently, the electricity consumption of the flats and operational equipment were estimated using stochastic model and available monthly measurement, respectively. Since the feasibility and optimal placement of 74 𝑘𝑊 PV modules offered for these buildings had been already examined by the author in another study, the final simulation were performed in an hourly basis considering PV production and total electricity demand; i.e. EAHP, flats consumption and operational equipment. The results of the simulation showed that 21 % of total electricity demand during a year could be supplied by the proposed PV system even without any electrical storage, whereas 74 % of total yearly PV production is consumed by the local loads. The results also proved that removing old inefficient oil boiler and supplementing the pellet boiler with the combination of EAHP and PV could mitigate the annual purchased energy (including electricity and pellet) by approximately 40 % compared to the current condition.
