ZEB
annual report 2015
In 2015 the main activities in WP4 have
been:
• Pilot buildings: Evaluation of the building
process, initial use phase, and daily
operation and use
• ZEB living Lab
• Green leases and other measures to
deal with the “principal actor problem” in
the built environment (in collaboration with
NTNU’s Centre for Real Estate Facilities
Management)
• “ZEBonomics”. Conclusion: Market
potential and market creation “
The residential experiment in the ZEB
Living Laboratory is described in the results
chapter.
WP5:
Concepts and Strategies for
Zero Emission Buildings
Goal: Development of concrete concepts
for zero emission buildings which can be
translated into realized pilot buildings within
the time frame of the centre.
The main research activities in 2015 in
WP5 have been:
• ZEB definition
• Implementation of ZEBs in norms and
regulations
• Evaluation of pilot buildings
• Follow-up design and construction
• Generalization of results
Activities and results connected to several
ZEB pilot buildings are elaborated upon in
the results chapter.
Laboratories and Infrastructure:
Goal: Development and operation of
building laboratories for investigation, testing
and demonstration of new and innovative
building technologies.
Experiments have been and are being
carried out in these facilities, both within the
ZEB Centre and within other projects using
ZEB Living Laboratory and ZEB Test Cell
Laboratory
The construction of the following
laboratories has been completed:
• ZEB Living Laboratory
• ZEB Test Cell Laboratory
The buildings are being used for studies of
user-technology interaction and research
on interconnected zero emission building
technologies. The laboratory facilities are an
arena for risk reduction in implementation of
zero emission building technologies.
The ZEB laboratories are further described
in the results chapter.
