The course provides insight into selected current research topics in the field of intelligent buildings. Typical topics can be:
- Demand Side Management and Demand Response in buildings.
- Potential of permanent measures to increase plant efficiency.
- Increased added value of storage and generation through neighbourhood considerations such as local energy communities.
- Comprehensive considerations of mobility, heat and electricity for sector coupling in buildings and neighbourhoods.
- Home automation systems as a means of intelligent plant operation.
- Market-based approaches as means for optimized plant operation.
After the course, the students will be familiar with individual current technical developments in the field of intelligent buildings. As a result of the course, they have obtained a detailed assessment of their advantages and disadvantages. The students
- can present the specific technological developments presented and describe how they work
- recognise the need for the development of new technical solutions at the level of buildings and residential areas for the successes of the energy revolution
- can evaluate the technologies considered in the course and the concept of sector coupling in terms of their advantages and disadvantages
- can critically reflect individual approaches and technologies with regard to their effects on the building, the neighbourhood and higher-level systems (such as energy networks)
