When weather forecasts control the heating. Operational optimisation of administrative buildings with weather forecast control.

Artikel

With the aim of achieving an optimum indoor environment and lowering operating costs in the long term, the performance of a so-called “operational optimisation with weather forecast control” system has been tested in three administrative buildings in the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia since 2007. The operation of the heating systems is optimised based on a thermodynamic computer model and local weather forecast data. The result: A tangible increase in comfort with simultaneous heat energy savings.
