Ses­si­on 4: Sum­mer com­fort and cool­ing con­cepts

Fri­day, 10 Sep­tem­ber 2021

The ef­fects of cli­mate change have be­come very evid­ent in re­cent years. It is there­fore all the more im­port­ant to con­sider sum­mer thermal in­su­la­tion and the res­ult­ing cool­ing loads in new build­ings and ren­ov­a­tions, and to provide re­li­able, cost-ef­fect­ive and low-con­sump­tion cool­ing con­cepts. Es­pe­cially in warm cli­mates, but also in mid-lat­it­udes, we will in­creas­ingly have to deal with hot spells in the fu­ture. In this series of lec­tures, pro­jects and stud­ies from South­ern Europe will be the top­ic, but also gen­er­al guidelines and po­ten­tials for sus­tain­able cool­ing here in Ger­many will be presen­ted.

Time (CEST)	Top­ic	Speak­er
4:15 pm	Wel­co­me
4:20 pm	Gui­dance for ro­bust sum­mer com­fort de­sign  Lim­it­ing the fre­quency of over­heat­ing in sum­mer is gain­ing rel­ev­ance with warm­ing cli­mate con­di­tions. In or­der to raise aware­ness on the top­ic and en­cour­age more ro­bust design choices, PHI has de­ve­loped a “sum­mer com­fort guideline”, as well as a stress-test­ing as part of the PHPP en­ergy mod­el­ling.
