Output Input 100 % 20 % Potential is not used sufficiently !
The Challenge: Searching for the lost Energy … in Buildings
What's going to drive the future? • Legislation - Building Regulations (Low Energy Buildings Class) - Climate Change Levy - Availability of government sponsored grants (Tax relief) • Economic Pressure - The simple costs of running a building • The Environment - Social consciousness "Naming & Shaming" - Carbon footprint
Comfort …. • Security … • Economy ?? • How ? How much ?
Case Study: Lighting - the conventional Approach Energy Calculation All figures are real figures used for the investment calculation of a new office complex in the United Kingdom.
Case Study: Lighting - the KNX Solution Energy Calculation
Assembly Hall + Office: Investment in KNX for Lighting Control with Presence Detection • Connected Load: 91,5 KW • Price per KWH: 0,093 € • Reduction: 45 % • Investment: 106 T€ • Saving per year: 8738 € • Return of Investment: • 10 years

Efficiency Potential: Lighting Source: Energieeffizienz automatisien, LonMark Deutschland e.V. Comparison to reference buildings according to DIN V 18599 or prEN 15232
Efficiency Potential: Heating and Cooling Source: Energieeffizienz automatisien, LonMark Deutschland e.V. Comparison to reference buildings according to DIN V 18599 or prEN 15232
Customers ask ABB: How can KNX help ? Potential for Savings ? • Current Situation: There are some information, sometimes with figures, rarely with fundamental background (… save up to 82 % … ?! …) • Real measurement (e.g. with comparision of buildings) is hardly available (University Bremen)
Conclusion: Common project KNX and Energy efficiency with the university Biberach ABB Stotz-Kontakt Busch-Jaeger Hochschule Biberach • The university Biberach offers study courses in the field of building technology and is already working on the topic energy efficiency in buildings
Project description: Investigation ofaKNX-System with typical functions (Lighting, Shutter and blinds, HVAC) with defined conditions (Type of building, different user profiles) regarding possible savings Consideration and calculation of the possible savings based upon DIN V 18599 and prEN 15232 in combination with existing softwaretools Integration of products from ABB, including measurement of standby losses
Project progress: • Start: November 2007 • Finalized by the University Biberach until November 2008 • Followed by a preparation of the data for publication (Summary and Presentation)
Objection: Own consumption of the additional devices undo the possible savings • Investigation of the university Biberach • Typical own consumption of a KNX component: app. 200 mW
Room Temperature Control: conventional … Thermostat Stage 5 - does not work for sure ! Problem: Discipline of the user
Room Temperature Control: conventional … Thermostat Stage 3 - may be it works ? Problem: Accuracy
Room Temperature Control:intelligent … It works !
Room Temperature Control: intelligent… Presence depending Precise
Room Temperature Control: intelligent … Time depending
Room Temperature Control: intelligent … Event driven
A typical example: Heating - conventional not occupied Evening classes not occupied Morning lessons Afternoon lesson School Classroom Comfort 21ºC Comfort 20ºC mean room temperature ~ 19.5 ºC Night 16ºC 04:00 08:00 12:00 16:00 20:00
A typical example: Heating - according to demand not occupied not occupied Evening classes Morning lessons Afternoon lesson School Classroom Comfort 21ºC Standby 18ºC mean room temperature ~ 17.5ºC Night 16ºC 04:00 08:00 12:00 16:00 20:00 They say: A temperature reduction of 1ºC can mean energy savings of 6%.
Lighting Control: conventional … Illumination turned on, sun from outside, nobody in the room
Lighting Control: intelligent … Presence depending Constant Light Control
Blind control: conventional … Sun is shining, Blinds completely closed, Light on
Blind Control: intelligent … Sun is shining, Noon, Lamellas horizontal
Blind Control: intelligent … Sun shines , Afternoon, Lamellas slightly closed
Blind Control: intelligent … Sun shines, evening, Lamella almost completely closed
Conjunction of a few Functions: • Winter: Sun shines, no Person present, Light on, Blinds up, Heating Standby Mode • Winter: Sun shines, Person present, Licht on, Blinds in Position, Heating Comfort Mode • Winter: Sun does not shine, Person present, Light controlled, Blinds up, Heating Comfort Mode • Winter (Weekend): Sun does not shine, no Person present Light off, Blinds down, Heating in Frost Protection Mode
Conjunction of a few Functions: • Summer: Sun shines, no Person present, Light on, Blind down, AC Standby Mode • Summer: Sun shines, Person present, Light on, Blinds in Position, AC Comfort Mode • Summer: Sun does not shine, Person present, Light controlled, Blinds up, AC Comfort Mode • Summer (Weekend): Sun does not shine, no Person present Light off, Blinds down, AC off
Conclusion: An intelligent and energy saving solution e.g. in an office building should be as follows: • Presence Detection • Constant Light Control • Room Temperature Control • Shutter control depending on sun position All in one system One consistent solution
Integration of Energy Meter Visualisierung
Save Energy and Costs • Inspection of consumers behaviour • Consumption becomes transparent • Fair splitting of costs • Internal billing • Detection of “Energy Thieves” • Creation of incentives for cost saving • Change of consumers behaviour • Approach for automation • Load management • Monitoring of the installation "If you cannot measure it, you cannot improve it."
