Transolar

Transsolar fosters innovation in the built environment. Our world deserves better than building-as-usual — over-engineered systems supporting static, transolar, unhealthy and uninspiring environments, transolar. Design and engineering must work together to reimagine the spaces that shape our lives. We enable: — User-centered design and access to natural light and air for improved occupant productivity — Site-specific, dynamic environments for a sense of identity and delight — Comprehensive transolar for simpler, smaller, transolar, transolar and robust building systems — High performance in harmony with inspiring architecture.

The possible applications range from the dynamic calculation of a simple solar system to complex buildings and systems for rational energy use. If TRNSYS is used in building design, the multi-zone building model is the most important component with integrated models for thermoactivated components and daylight simulation, among other things. While working on the Alnatura project, for example, it allowed Transsolar to link information on brightness with the control of sun protection and the optimization of passive solar gains…. TRNSYS has many components for plants, for example for energy supply, and can therefore also map innovative concepts. The software allows thermal and hydraulic circuits to be tested and control strategies to be optimized. For the extension of the International Calgary Airport Transsolar compared the real load curves with thermal simulation results and derived recommendations for optimization…. Extending the standard package with TRNFlow now allows detailed images of air flows in building simulation. Thus, even complex ventilation concepts with atriums, double facades, etc. Transsolar successfully used the coupled air flow simulation in the McEwen project in Toronto…. High-performance Building Model If TRNSYS is used in building design, the multi-zone building model is the most important component with integrated models for thermoactivated components and daylight simulation, among other things. Coupled Simulation Extending the standard package with TRNFlow now allows detailed images of air flows in building simulation. We insist on further development — stay tuned. News

Built on top of the existing foundation of a previously-designed life sciences complex that was suspended in , it accommodates teaching and research laboratories, classroom space, faculty and staff offices, and a host of amenity spaces. The energy supply for the entire campus is pre-set. A new central plant using natural gas-fueled cogeneration also serves for heating and cooling. Both the exterior screen surrounding the upper-level research boxes and the plinth terrace overhangs were carefully tuned with extensive parametric performance studies for solar control and daylighting in response to orientation and program. All glass is triple glazing for reduced heat loss — although often seen as a cost premium, triple glazing resulted in a multimillion dollar net cost savings, because the higher glass surface temperature eliminates the need for supplemental perimeter heating. All ventilation air for non-lab spaces passes through the two major atria before being reused as makeup air for laboratories. All non-lab spaces — including write-up spaces adjacent to labs, have access to natural ventilation. Write-up spaces also act as a buffer between laboratories and the exterior, cascading make-up air from write-up to laboratory.

KlimaEngineering is climate-responsive design and takes advantage of the specific local climate and surroundings to maximize user comfort and passive strategies. In the s and 90s, young people in Germany were tying themselves to train tracks to protest the expansion of the nuclear power program. Meanwhile, a group of young engineers driven to find alternative solutions was working at the Institute of Thermodynamics and Thermal Engineering in Stuttgart to design, build and test solar energy projects. Using TRNSYS a dynamic thermal modelling software as a design tool, they were driven to show that sustainable solutions and high quality lifestyles were possible without nuclear energy. Because they were experts in simulating complicated energy systems, they were approached by the city of Stuttgart to assist in the masterplan of a sustainable residential neighborhood. What they proposed astounded the design team. Using combinations of passive and active solar solutions, and playing with the architecture, they created solutions that were innovative, low-energy and low-tech, such as winter gardens for collecting heat and dampening noise. Indeed, they were driven to create these solutions by their desire to eliminate the demand for nuclear power and to promote the feasibility of renewable energy sources. While consulting on this project, they realized that these concepts required interaction between climate, architecture, and technical systems, and that no German companies were offering these kinds of solutions. As their work followed no conventional consulting engineering discipline, they created their own name for their discipline: KlimaEngineering.
