OBJECTIVE/ Energy data shows an unacceptable difference between highest and lowest energy consumptions among tenants inducing issues of satisfaction regarding the economic, energy and comfort performance of the building. Soft corrective actions need to be implemented with the tenants in order to correct these overconsumptions (tips and information). To do so, a precise knowledge of the real use of the building is needed to improve its efficiency and the tenants behaviors. HOW ?/ - Implementation of a survey regarding the tenants behaviors and patterns of energy consumptions with personal interviews, online and postal questionnaires and implementation of a submetering system in dwellings in order to identify and separate energy consumptions for heating (electricity) and other personal consumptions such as computers, hi-fi, electric hardware. - 2 comparative experiments in 2 different buildings with additional tenants information in building 1 and no additional information in building 2.

OBJECTIVE/ Control of the balanced heating system scheme and technical inspection of the balanced heating system during operation period. HOW ?/ - Detection of imperfections and errors in the scheme and/or compare the scheme with the real situation of the heating system (parameters and visual inspection of the system) and implement inspection of the system. For example: propose the correct positioning and dimensions of heating circuit elements, especially the pressure regulators: the differential pressure regulator was installed on the return branch and connected with capillary to the incoming flow pipe. The connection point was upstream of the circulation pump. This wrong position was impacting unfavourably the operation conditions for the pump. Correct connection point was defined ahead of the circulation pump. The life expectancy of circulation pump prolongated, less energy consumed by circulation pump and correct hydraulic conditions were established.

OPTIMIZATION SUGGESTION
OBJECTIVE/ To improve the balancing of the new heating system thanks to a smart metering system based on individual heat cost allocators. Tenants still complain about thermal discomfort, higher costs than before and too many differences of consumption rates among apartments. This situation has to be resolved thanks to a better thermoregulation of the boiler. HOW ?/ An ADAPTERM system implemented in the building (description from the TECHEM website - http://www.techem.com/):
- the data collector gathers the summarized temperature data from the radio heat cost allocators (1a) and the heating systems flow temperature data (1b) and then determines the total heat demand in the building based on this information. - the adapterm module determines the outdoor temperature (from the heating controller or via sensor) and sends it to the data collector. - based on all the information received, the data collector calculates whether there is an oversupply of heat in the building. If so, it sends a correction value for the reduction of the flow temperature to the adapterm module. - the adapterm module lowers the flow temperature to its optimal level. - via radio remote access, the Techem operation control center ensures the adapterm system operates properly and efficiently. 14

OPTIMIZATION SUGGESTION
OBJECTIVE/ The heating curves are usually set according to the design of the heating system. Often there is no check whether this setting is indeed correct in practice. Retrofit of buildings such as replacement of windows require re-tuning of the heating curves. Use of general common (standard) heating curves may lead to tenants complaints and excessive heat consumption. Due to safety margins in the design, in practice a lower adjustment of heating curve is often possible. HOW ?/ - According to the assessment from an energy expert, the heating system is overdimensioned by factor 4, therefore the temperature of distributed water throughout the building is too high, resulting in thermal losses of the pipelines. Conversion to low temperature heating was suggested, instead of 80/65 (dT 52,5C) regime 50/40 (dT 25C) will be implemented, reducing heating power of radiators to 1/3. Heating curve will be lifted for 5C. - Also, direct actions on tenants awareness and education, teaching them (with a meeting or written instructions) what they need to do and most of all - avoid to keep the optimization implementation efficient and effective. SHO will present the main characteristics of optimization done to heating system to the tenants and give them instructions (for example with flyers, tips, a small guide easy understandable) to explain which are the best behaviours to perfectly use the ESM and save energy.

OPTIMIZATION SUGGESTION
OBJECTIVE/ The SHO has identified complaints by tenants about heating and bills, the variety of consumptions among single apartments is higher from what was expected. To identify examples for small interventions that can be implemented on the existing heating system (as no removal of the boiler can be expected). The new condensing boiler has been widespread in the strategy of ATC for the replacement of heating systems. The identification of small insulation operation on the boiler (with low cost of implementation) can be extented to a majorpart of this housing stock and realize some significant energy savings at the scale of the global housing stock. HOW ?/ - Installation of an insulation cap for the not insulated heat exchanger (cf. photo). This insulation cap will reduce the thermic losings and improve the energy efficiency of the system (cf. thermography before and after). - Monitoring of the temperatures in several dwellings in order to better understand the differences between the tenants and resolve the complaints by a futur hydraulic balancing.

OPTIMIZATION SUGGESTION
OBJECTIVE/ A calorific boiler has been installed in the building, which leads to a lower flow temperature than the previous standard boiler. The potential for a hydraulic balancing has to be analyzed. It is also interesting to know if the thermostatic valves are suitable for this purpose, otherwise old valves must be replaced. Hydraulic balancing is a very interesting opportunity for this action: the radiators have not been replaced and are still sized according to the old supply temperature. By hydraulic balancing it will be ensured that each radiator will get the same amount of heat. HOW ?/ The subcontractor Energie & Haus has implemented its analytical method for heating systems Heating ECG (DIN 15378) to define the basis for an optimal operation of heating systems. By heating ECG we can determine how efficiently a heating system is actually working. For 24 hours, the provider measures all the relevant data and temperatures of the heating system. From the results it errors are detected and recommendations are defined: - hydraulic balancing of heating pipeline through installation of modern thermostatic valves and adjustment of volume flow / pump speed. - revision of the control technology with the aim of a longer burner running time in modulating operation by low flow temperature. - gradual reduction of the heating curve.

OPTIMIZATION SUGGESTION
OBJECTIVE/ To resolve the deficiencies of the facade refurbishment thanks to a thermovision with a diagnosis on the weak points of the insulation of the facade (specific control of windows seals and visual integrity of the coat). The objective is to improve energy savings and ESMs efficiency with a corrective approach on the issues identified on the external insulation, but also to make the indoor comfort and quality of life better. Integrating the results for this process, SHO may decide to generalize this process to its whole housing stock. HOW ?/ - Thermographic active detection, to determine the fluxes of heat affecting the various constituent parts of the building envelope (coat, fixtures, roof ..), in presence of indoor environments with heating in function: heat loss due to deficiencies in insulation, presence of thermal bridges, moisture in walls, search for water infiltration. - Intervention on the building, through the rehabilitation of those parts affected by a thermal behaviour problematic, perhaps without having to enter into the appartments: reinforcement of the joints related to the windows frame is one the most common. Other possible actions are: resolution of any thermal bridges detected, with the creation of new thermal insulation ; restoration of damaged areas of thermal coat ; replacement of seals on doors and windows.

OPTIMIZATION SUGGESTION
OBJECTIVE/ The energy supply used by the heating coil in the ventilation is regulated by the demand for energy of the floor heating, resulting in unheated air in ventilation when floor heat is not running. The problem raised up by Aarhus is a general lack of regulation of heating system and ventilation. When the first is not working the second one doesnt work too. So tenants complain about thermal discomfort. Through the intervention suggested there will be a separation between the heating recovering system and the underfloor heating system in order to improve the situation. HOW ?/ Separation between the heating recovering system and the underfloor heating system adding a control valve for the heating coil of the ventilation system in order to make its control independent (to save energy at the beginning and at the end of the heating season).

OPTIMIZATION SUGGESTION
OBJECTIVE/ TFF2a is a spread ownership building, 50 % of the consent of the owners is claimed for any intervention on the common parts of the building. In case of smaller interventions (like checking and repair/replace the windows seals), the owners choice is priviledged. As a consequence no direct interventions can be implemented on the building: the SHO cant force the tenants to intervene on their own property. Raising tenants awareness and teaching them (door-to-door visits and written instructions parallel to tenants survey) what they need to do and most of all- avoid in order to keep the ESM efficient and effective for as long as possible as be recommanded by the technicians of the buildings who have noticed a number of tilted windows during the last thermography implemented on the building. HOW ?/ - Thermographic detection carried out in order to identify thermal bridges and eventual defects of seals, possible eliminations of thermal bridges and replacement/maintenance of windows and door seals. - Tenants awareness and education with a meeting and providing of written instructions. During this meeting it will be possible to present the main characteristics of the refurbishment done to their building and give them some instructions to explain which are the best behaviours to perfectly use the ESM and save energy. At the end of the heating season, SHO will arrange a new meeting to present some results to the tenants, to show them if they have saved energy and which are the actions to take if they want to improve their behaviour (and saving) more.

OPTIMIZATION SUGGESTION
OBJECTIVE/ Domestic hot water heat exchanger is designed to keep water warm at all time: heat exchanger for Domestic Hot Water is equiped with a comfort valve allowing the exchanger to run idle and ensuring short waiting time for hot water at the tap but with a larger energy consumption. Heat exchanger may better be cold until DHW is required in order to save energy, but using more water due to delay in temperature increase.
These valves open / close depending on the temperature of the water which contacts them and rely on the systems heater mounted pumps pressure to overcome the opposing pressure of the cold water line at the bypass valve. 1st Inefficiency inherent with these valves is they cannot maintain positive closure when a certain ammount of pressure is forced on them ( e.g.: when a faucet or tap is open. Thus, leaching between hot and cold water lines occur every time the water lines pressure drops, (e.g.: laundry, dishwasher, icebox refill, toilet flush, sprinkler system, etc.). 2nd Inefficiency inherent with this type of recirculation system is that during scheduled-on periods the pump runs continuously consuming valuable electrical energy even when hot water has filled the hot water pipes. This also causes undo wear on the pump shortening its lifespan. ( as quoted on the specialized website: http://www.diybanter.com/)
+ + +
HOW ?/ - Changing the design of the system: implementation of a new valve on the exchanger in order to prevent idle. This implementation will cause a longer waiting time for hot water and will increase the water consumption but will also lower the energy consumption.

OPTIMIZATION SUGGESTION
OBJECTIVE/ The heating curves are usually set according to the design of the heating system. Often there is no check whether this setting is indeed correct in practice. Retrofit of buildings such as replacement of windows require re-tuning of the heating curves. Use of general common (standard) heating curves may lead to tenants complaints and excessive heat consumption. Due to safety margins in the design, in practice often a lower adjustment of heating curve is possible. HOW ?/ - According to assessment from energy expert, the heating system is overdimensioned by factor 4, therefore the temperature of distributed water throughout the building is too high, resulting in thermal losses of the pipelines. Conversion to low temperature heating was suggested, instead of 90/70 (dT 60C) regime 50/40 (dT 25C) will be implemented, reducing heating power of radiators to 1/2. Heating curve will be lifted for 5C. - SHO will present the main characteristics of optimization done to heating system to the tenants and give them instructions (for example with flyers, tips, a small guide easy understandable) to explain which are the best behaviours to perfectly use the ESM and save energy.

OPTIMIZATION SUGGESTION
OBJECTIVE/ In a passive house, the hot water consumption in relation to total heating consumption is around 50% therefore it is very important to check and optimize the hot water and the running times of the circulation pumps. To find a better regulation of the circulation pumps for DHW in order to save energy in a highly efficient building in coordination with a discussion involving the acceptance of the tenants. HOW ?/ - Checking to what extent the circulation pump can be turned off, for example in the night time. During the day, we have some hours in which we dont need hot water. During this time, the water in the pipes is still heated causing some losings. The pump for Domestic Hot Water heater can be switched off between 11. 00 pm and 4.00 am. Tenants who will need hot water must wait a little bit more. By this optimization solution, the heat losses are reduced significantly in the hot water pipes. Another advantage is that the pumps are protected and thus have a longer life, will fall an additional maintenance costs - however marginally. - Habits of the tenants must be considered thanks to a dialogue with the tenants in order to identify how and when the running time of the circulation pump can be changed. Tenants shall become aware of the relation between the running of the circulation pumps and individual water consumptions.
