“…More specifically, the main drawback to overcome concerns the evaluation of the convective heat transfer coefficients and the air mass flow rate. Unless sophisticated predictive tools such as Computational Fluid Dynamics codes (CFD) or Artificial Neural Networks [3], most of the existing transient dynamic prediction models use mathematical correlations which relate these two variables with the corresponding dimensionless numbers and the air flow regimes (natural, forced and mixed convection). In the previous decades forced convection in air channels have been extensively analysed by several authors.…”

“…Energy use benchmarking in especially in municipal service buildings has been discussed by e.g. Cipriano, Carbonell, and Cipriano (2009). This study at hand presents a case of a new Finnish municipal daycare building and its energy performance, where cost-optimality is also an optimization target besides the building energy use.…”

New municipal service buildings must be energy effective, and cost-optimality is one of the criteria for selecting the suitable energy performance improvement measures. A daycare building in a cold climate was studied by means of simulation-based, multiobjective optimization. Using a genetic algorithm, both target energy use and life-cycle cost of the selected measures were minimized. It was found that extensive insulation of the building envelope is not a cost-optimal method to reduce the daycare building energy use. Improving energy efficiency of the ventilation system, utilizing solar energy on-site and employing a light control strategy are preferable ways of improving the building energy performance. Ground-source heat pump is a more cost-optimal heating system for the daycare building than district heating. The cost-optimal sizing of the heat pump is small, only 28% of the required maximum heating power.
