Dutch architect is looking for commercial and research partners to implement zero emission buildings.

A Dutch architect has developed a building system that is a solar energy, low exergy and zero emission building concept, with an integrated seasonal storage system, without energy losses, supplying indoor heating and hot tap water. The building concept is suitable for free-standing, connected, or high-rise residential and utility buildings in all climate zones. The Dutch architect is looking for commercial and research partners to develop the building system.

A Dutch architect has developed a building system to lower the use of energy in buildings. The building system is characterized as a seasonal heat storage with the smallest exergy loss (low-exergy), and without any energy loss. In this case exergy (applicability or quality of energy) stands for the temperatures which are used in the building system, and which are as close as possible to the demand temperatures (20 ˚C indoor and 45 ˚C shower). The heat storage water temperature is above these two demand temperatures and below 100 ˚C, and 50 to 90 ˚C over the year. These temperatures are produced with a vacuum tube semi-transparent solar heat collector which is integrated in the southern facade of the building. The seasonal heat storage volume is integrated with the building volume to achieve that all heat storage losses (more than 50% through 50 cm glass or stone wool insulation) flow into the building and are used as indoor heating. The Dutch architect is looking for commercial and research partners to implement the building system. Commercial agreement with technical assistant: Project owners and project developers, initiating and developing zero emission buildings Research cooperation agreement: European research projects, initiated by larger companies, local authorities, R&D institutes and universities
