It has offices on 5 floors and a total floor area of 4300 m 2. The building is wedge shaped (see ground plan on next slide ...). It is owned by the Government Building Agency. Design: Architect: ir. Ruurd Roorda, Government Building Agency, NL. Daylight concept: Esbensen, DK. Energy concept & natural ventilation: W/E consultants, NL. Building physics: Peutz & Associes, NL. This building is an EC2000 project, and is very energy efficient (17 m 3 /m 2 gas equivalent of primary energy use) as a result of integrated design. The aim was to eliminate the need for mechanical ventilation and give occupant the maximum possible control of the indoor climate. Key issues are: optimal use of daylight, passive ventilation, cooling by night ventilation, low energy use and use of sustainable building materials.

Installation: Fresh air enters the building via the trickle vents in the office. The air passes to the atrium via acoustic ducts in the false ceiling. The air leaves the building via the roof of the atrium (by natural means). Fan-assisted: If the wind velocity is less than 2 m/s, fans are switched on to help the stack effect in the atrium. Extraction chimneys on the roof Fans for suppl. ventilation

They are also pressure independent: within a certain range, they give the same flow at different pressures (see next slide...  ) The two constant flow trickle vents are situated just below the exposed ceiling. The incoming cold air sticks to the ceiling by the Coanda effect and is mixed with the warm indoor air before it falls into the office space, witch prevents draughts from causing comfort problems.

A shelf beneath each window reflects the daylighting windows reflects the light deep in the room and so improves the light distribution. A high frequent light system keeps the light level at 500 lux. The offices have a lot of exposed thermal mass in the ceilings and tiled floors. Therefore acoustic panels have been installed in the offices to reduce reverberation. All these techniques are presented on the following schematic… 

Back to “Select a building” Back to “Select a building” Winter monitoring Winter monitoring Summer monitoring Summer monitoring Conclusions - 1 Natural ventilation: The average winter ventilation rate is 2 ach, which was the design intention. Summer night time ventilation rate is 3.75 ach. Indoor Air Quality: The CO 2 levels in summer and winter are always below the maximum value of 1500 ppm. IAQ is of an acceptable standard. The Coanda effect was investigated and it was only in the most unfavourable room, situated on the fif th floor on the lee of the building that this phenomenon was not detected. In all the other rooms it functions well and there are no draught problems. Overall conclusion: the concept of natural ventilation with constant flow trickle vents, acoustic ducts to the atrium and auxiliary fans in the exhaust openings operates well.

Back to “Select a building” Back to “Select a building” Winter monitoring Winter monitoring Summer monitoring Summer monitoring Cooling by natural ventilation (Night cooling) The ventilation rate for cooling (3,75 ach) is close to the desired value of 4 ach. Higher cooling effects can be obtained if the auxiliary fans are switched on earlier. Indoor temperatures are sometimes higher than would normally be the case because of operator error: (the boiler was switched on in the summer, several sunny days the sun shades were moved so that windows could be cleaned and windows were left open on days when outside temperature was higher than indoor temperature, etc.). There were complains about summertime temperatures, but a heat wave in august had a significant influence on the findings. The uncorrected weighted temperature exceeding is 166 hours for 1997 (an extreme hot year). This value is slightly higher than the limit value of 150 (for a normal year). However when one takes into account operating errors, the value can be lowered to 86 hours. Hence the summer comfort levels can be within acceptable limit if mistakes are avoided.

Higher cooling effects can be obtained if the auxiliary fans are switched on earlier. Indoor temperatures are sometimes higher than would normally be the case because of operator error: (the boiler was switched on in the summer, several sunny days the sun shades were moved so that windows could be cleaned and windows were left open on days when outside temperature was higher than indoor temperature, etc.). There were complains about summertime temperatures, but a heat wave in august had a significant influence on the findings. The uncorrected weighted temperature exceeding is 166 hours for 1997 (an extreme hot year). This value is slightly higher than the limit value of 150 (for a normal year). However when one takes into account operating errors, the value can be lowered to 86 hours. Hence the summer comfort levels can be within acceptable limit if mistakes are avoided. Conclusions - 2
