N2 - The currently running International Energy Agency, Energy and Conservation
in Buildings, Annex 62 Ventilative Cooling (VC) project, is coordinating
research towards extended use of VC. Within this Annex 62 the joint research
activity of International VC Application Database has been carried out,
systematically investigating the distribution of technologies and strategies
within VC. The database is structured as both a ticking-list-like
building-spreadsheet and a collection of building-datasheets. The content of
both closely follows Annex 62 State-Of-The- Art-Report. The database has been
filled, based on desktop research, by Annex 62 participants, namely by the
authors.
So far the VC database contains 91 buildings, located in Denmark, Ireland
and Austria. Further contributions from other countries are expected.
The building-datasheets offer illustrative descriptions of buildings of
different usages, sizes and locations, using VC as a mean of indoor comfort
improvement.
The building-spreadsheet highlights distributions of technologies and
strategies, such as the following. (Numbers in % refer to the sample of the
database’s 91 buildings.)
It may be concluded that Ventilative Cooling is applied in temporary
European and international Low Energy buildings. Still it’s not really
widespread. Obstacles are challenges as regards noise, dust, weather and
burglary, proving the research efforts of the Annex being necessary. The VC
database forms a worthwhile basis for both dissemination and further research
targets.
