Objectives
◘ Development of common terminology and definition of “Energy Flexibility in
buildings” and “energy grid interaction” (STA)
◘ Investigation of the social and indoor environmental implication/constraints
associated with the introduction of Energy Flexibility in buildings (STA)
◘ Development of ideas for labelling of buildings’ Energy Flexibility (STA)
◘ Analysis of load management, energy storage and generation possibilities in
buildings including cost/benefit analysis (STB)
◘ Determination of the flexibility potential both at building and at aggregated level
with respect to building type, location (urban/rural) and climate. Analysis of the
impact of energy flexible buildings on the low voltage grid incl. integrations of
renewable energies and change in electricity generation patterns (STB)
◘ Investigation and development of control strategies and algorithms, which can
facilitate smart usage of the flexibility potential in different buildings (STB)
◘ Demonstration of Energy Flexibility through experimental studies (STC)
◘ Investigation of user motivation and acceptance associated with the introduction
of Energy Flexibility in buildings (STC)

Scope
◘ Increasing knowledge on building Energy Flexibility
and the services buildings can provide to energy grids
◘ Identification of critical aspects and possible solutions
to manage the Energy Flexibility that buildings can
provide

IEA DSM Event 10/6/2014 - Pagina 5
Subtask A
◘ Activity A.1: Development of a common terminology and
definition of “Energy Flexibility in buildings” and “energy grid
interaction”.
◘ Activity A.2: Development of a methodology for characterization
of Energy Flexibility in buildings.
◘ Development of ideas and recommendations concerning future
work on Energy Flexibility labelling of buildings and components.
◘ Identification of opportunities and constraints of aggregation.
◘ Activity A.3: Literature review on user needs (thermal comfort,
IAQ, …), motivation (save money, save energy, …) and barriers
for application of Energy Flexibility. Investigation of the social and
indoor environmental implication/constraints associated with the
introduction of Energy Flexibility in different building types.

Subtask B
◘ Activity B.1: Investigation of load management, energy storage and
generation possibilities in buildings, including quantification of the practical
potential of different energy storage solutions in new and existing buildings.
Investigation of the impact of different load profiles and user behaviour as
well as cost benefit analysis.
◘ Activity B.2: Investigation and development of control strategies and
algorithms for Energy Flexibility in buildings. Implementation in selected
components/systems: home automation, Building Energy Management
systems, low level controllers on the different devices, thermostats, etc.
Both control capability and prices will be investigated.
◘ Activity B.3: Laboratory (including full scale) tests of components, systems
and control strategies.
◘ Activity B.4: Simulation and documentation of example cases under
different scenarios including varying energy prices, weather conditions, user
behaviour, etc. and based on verified performance (from Subtask C).
Determination of the Energy Flexibility potential both at building and at
aggregated level – the latter e.g. through simulations of an assumed
number of energy flexible buildings using energy system models to
determine their impact on the electricity grid.

Subtask C
◘ Activity C.1: Demonstration of Energy Flexibility in real
buildings exposed to real weather conditions and user
behaviour in different market scenarios.
◘ Activity C.2: Investigation of user motivation and
acceptance associated with the introduction of Energy
Flexibility in buildings.

TETRA DHW (2012-2014)
Main focus:
• In-depth knowledge of DHW demand through extensive
measuring campaign:
peak flow rates
DHW patterns
seasonal variation in DHW consumption
• new design rules for DHW production and distribution based
on:
buildings properties
desired DHW comfort

Instal 2020 (2014-2018)
Main focus:
• Combined design of installations for space heating and DHW
production and distribution
• Evaluation installation concepts by different criteria: energy
use, desired user comfort, total cost, flexibility, compatibility
with renewable energy sources, …
• Centralised vs. decentralised production
• Innovative technologies (e.g. larger DHW tanks and potential
for other applications)
