Papers
In order to successfully achieve the goals of the EU commission in reducing building energy use considerably, new innovative HVAC solutions are required, which both facilitate extensive energy savings, while maintaining a healthy and comfortable environment as well as the implementation and integration of building integrated renewable energy systems and interaction with the smart energy system.
Therefore, the 12th REHVA Congress will focus on building and HVAC system performance in practice in relation to fulfillment of the intended design, ability to fulfill the needs of the occupants, interaction with the users in daily practice and role in the smart energy system.
