Abstract

Two existing nursery buildings, a mechanically and a naturally ventilated one, were chosen for investigations of energy saving potential and IAQ, using the different from present ventilation strategies and their control principles. These investigations are carried out applying a dynamic building simulation tool BSim. Each building is modelled separately and each of these models is “calibrated” using the detailed experimental data. Calibrated models are then used to evaluate different ventilation strategies for these particular buildings. This paper is aimed to illustrate the differences in assumptions for building operation on the design stage and actual building operation. Finally, it is not argued in favour to one or another ventilation principle, but in favour of demand controlled ventilation.
