Abstract

This paper presents a building construction approach that is based on forty years of experience and a focus on multi-disciplinary synergies. After 1980, the migration science-based design was accelerated by the “Integrated Design Process (IDP)”. As a result, building science became a significant force in reducing the effects of climate change. The component associated with heating, cooling, and ventilation that is labeled “Environmental Quality Management” (EQM) or EQM-retro for interior applications will be discussed. The critical aspects of EQM-retro are: (1) A two-stage process for new and retro construction that modifies financing patterns. In stage one, the object is to develop the best possible performance within an investment limit. In stage two, the cost is minimized; (2) Building Automatic Control Systems (BACS) are important for control thermal mass contributions of while achieving adaptable indoor climate as well as an integration of the HVAC system with the building structure; (3) This is achieved with use of a monitoring application and performance evaluation (MAPE); (4) Introduction of BACS and MAPE during design process improves the integration of building subsystems and energy optimization. Examples showing increaseased occupant-controlled comfort, energy efficiency and flexibility of energy demand are presented in the paper.
