Symposium on energy-saving construction

In preparation for EnEV 2012 it is necessary to review and revise the methodological and computational requirements for energetic balancing. Main focus is the balancing method of DIN V 18599. It must be updated such that new technologies like LEDs, cogeneration, heat pumps, etc. are modelled more accurately while simultaneously improving the code's practical application. Various studies are under way to prepare this year's revision of the code. This symposium held by the Federal Ministry of Transport, Building and Urban Affairs will give insight to the current state of research and provide possibilities for discussion.
