This paper presents the case study of an nZEB building located in the municipality of Mesagne (Apulia, BR). It is a building of 309 m2 of usable floor space with two floors above ground. The building is a proof that a correct integrated design of the HVAC system and the building envelope can easily lead to an nZEB building with high performance in terms of energy consumption and comfort. The external envelope of the building is a structure in tufa blocks plus a mixture of hemp and hydraulic lime plus blocks of hemp and lime. Hemp lime is a mix of renewably sourced hemp shiv, a specially formulated lime binder and water. The air conditioning system is based on a controlled mechanical ventilation with air pre-treatment through an underground tube exchanger. A numerical simulation of the overall building-plant system performance was made with DesignBuilder in order to evaluate the energy consumption for air conditioning and the thermohygrometric comfort in the building. Several simulations were carried out to compare the incidence of different building-plant system on total energy consumptions: one without earth-to-air heat exchanger, one without heat-recovery and recirculation, one without solar shading.

Abstract

This paper presents the case study of an nZEB building located in the municipality of Mesagne (Apulia, BR). It is a building of 309 m2 of usable floor space with two floors above ground. The building is a proof that a correct integrated design of the HVAC system and the building envelope can easily lead to an nZEB building with high performance in terms of energy consumption and comfort. The external envelope of the building is a structure in tufa blocks plus a mixture of hemp and hydraulic lime plus blocks of hemp and lime. Hemp lime is a mix of renewably sourced hemp shiv, a specially formulated lime binder and water. The air conditioning system is based on a controlled mechanical ventilation with air pre-treatment through an underground tube exchanger. A numerical simulation of the overall building-plant system performance was made with DesignBuilder in order to evaluate the energy consumption for air conditioning and the thermohygrometric comfort in the building. Several simulations were carried out to compare the incidence of different building-plant system on total energy consumptions: one without earth-to-air heat exchanger, one without heat-recovery and recirculation, one without solar shading.
