[REPORT SUMMARY] Conceptual design and strength assessment of structural support systems for suspending/mounting wind turbines from/on buildings
No sophisticated suspension of a wind turbine (WT) from a building - essential if their integration is to become a reality-has been attempted before, so it is difficult to improve/optimise existing technology. Hence, this result comprises of:
- Utilisation of an existing simp...

[REPORT SUMMARY] Photovoltaic solar energy
In the BIMODE-Project, designers, architects and scientists were working closely together for the first time to enhance the aesthetic appearance of PV-modules. A range of designs was proposed using solar cells in different colours and shapes on mono- and multi-crystalline wafe...

[REPORT SUMMARY] Energy efficient and environmentally friendly heat pumping system using CO2 as working fluid; COHEPS
The "natural" refrigerant CO2 is an old refrigerant (Linde 1881) and has been used in the past for maritime cooling and for air conditioning systems in buildings, until it was replaced by the (H)CFCs.
Taking the old "natural" fluids, only water (R-717) and CO2 (R-744) meet th...

[REPORT SUMMARY] Integrated light pipe / passive stack ventilation / solar heating cooling unit on pilot-plant scale (TRIPLESAVE unit) and related know how
The growing awareness for the necessity to protect the environment, namely by saving energy, has brought up many infrastructure projects for buildings which use natural ventilation and day-lighting.
Due to this new market need, suppliers for the European construction industr...

[REPORT SUMMARY] Conceptual design and strength assessment of safety devices for application when integrating wind turbines into buildings
This result directly addresses the need to provide visible safety devices, which crucially enhance both safety (of people and property) and the public perception of safety. Typically, this might take the form of a safety mesh or cage placed around the wind turbine(s), to reduc...

[REPORT SUMMARY] Wind tunnel data showing power enhancement factors for a wind turbine(s) integrated with buildings of different shapes
The result forms a data set of power enhancement factors for a wind turbine gained by integrating a wind turbine with buildings of different shapes.
Data was calculated from force measurements on a simulated wind turbine and includes data from a large number of different bui...

[REPORT SUMMARY] Performance data from field-testing of two different wind turbines running within the prototype building compared to running stand alone
The result consists of the processed and analysed performance data (and the corresponding meteorological data) from field-testing of two wind turbines (WT)-a 1.8m diameter horizontal-axis wind turbine (HAWT) and a 2m diameter vertical-axis wind turbine (VAWT), both in stand-al...
