New buildings today are built with great care and contain modern technology in order to minimize the energy cost and therefore also their upkeep. This project has tried to evaluate the effect of a smart demand-controlled ventilation system which measures the actual airflow demand and adjusts accordingly. By using exact data from a system inside a school and studying the building itself, an accurate model of the school was created. Using this model the demand-controlled system was compared to a conventional, constant flow, system. The results showed that the demand-controlled system reduced the specific energy consumption of the school by 34 % and that the systems components could be downsized to 70 % of the original size. This means that this kind of integration of control technology is a powerful tool to further increase the energy efficiency in buildings.
