New Public Deliverable: “Geothermal – IDM for Drilling Processes”

19 de May de 20233 de April de 2019 by AdminCometPublishing

GEOTHERMAL IDM FOR DRILLING PROCESS

(DRILLING WORKS – MODELLING AND VIRTUALIZATION – GEOTHERMAL BIM INTEGRATION VISUALIZATION, MONITORING AND LIFE CYCLE CONTROL)

Deliverable by IDP

GEOFIT project creates the perfect interaction environment bringing together a set of different disciplines, technologies, knowledge and innovation. One of the main achievements of the project is to create a seven-dimension BIM model covering different aspects like design, planning, programming, installation and deployment, monitoring, simulating, and life cycle and costs management of a building geothermal retrofitting project.

Control solutions for air-conditioning, refrigeration and heating & energy efficiency

Article by Raul Simonetti from CAREL

From a control point of view, the energy efficiency opportunities can be grouped into three approaches:
1. Product-level approach
2. System-level approach
3. Supervision and IoT

The Aran Islands pilot site in this project is located on Árainn, the largest of the three Aran Islands on the west coast of Ireland. This pilot’s focus is based on residential buildings. The Killeaney Cottages, pictured below, were selected and invited to participate. Eight of the households here are interested in taking part in GEOFIT and having their current heating system replaced by a Geothermal heat pump.

GEOFIT WORKSHOPS: Galway & Aran Islands

3 de February de 2019 by AdminCometPublishing

At the end of January we held two workshops in Ireland linked to two of our pilot sites, one located in Galway and the other in the Aran Islands. These pilot sites have different characteristics and represent different challenges for the demonstration of our project. In this post we will talk about the development of the workshops, as well as these two pilot sites, so that they can be better known.

On Forecasting Energy Demand in Buildings

17 de January de 2019 by AdminCometPublishing

Article by Eurecat

Building Energy Demand Forecast Methodology (EDCE)

For the optimal sizing and determination of the HVAC system in a building, the precise calculation of the energy demand is an essential task, especially in cases of geothermal installations, due to the fact that the effort and the costs of any afterwards modification are high. Thus, the initial calculation and dimensioning of the installation are crucial to guarantee that the expected system’s performance is achieved.

Nowadays, the dimensioning of a building’s installation can be made in 3 different ways: i) The use of empirical methods based on energy demand estimations, ii) use of real operation energy consumption profiles (acquired by the building’s SCADA system), or iii) use of detailed building energy simulations to accurately characterize the energy requirement of the building.

Workshop in Perugia

15 de January de 2019 by AdminCometPublishing

From November 21 to December 6, 2018, a workshop was held at the Perugia demonstration site with the following objectives: to establish a channel of communication with local stakeholders, define their needs and requirements, include them in the design and finally gather information on the existing building. The workshop was conducted mainly with people who are directly involved in the building.

GEOFIT General Assembly in Sant Cugat

27 de November de 2018 by AdminCometPublishing

The GEOFIT consortium successfully held the General Assembly on 12 and 13 November 2018, in Sant Cugat del Vallès. The meeting was kindly organized by L’ Ajuntament de Sant Cugat, who also organized a valuable historical visit to the Sant Cugat Monastery, an on-site inspection of the pilot school site “Els Pins” and an amazing team-building dinner.
