Klimaatgevels. Evaluatierapport van het bewonersonderzoek te Tilburg. (Climate facades. Evaluation report of the tenants study in Tilburg, Netherlands)
The result of a study of tenants in 48 multi-family houses in an urban renewal area in Tilburg in the Netherlands is presented. This field experiment was carried out to test the feasibility of the concept of the high-energy-efficient renovation with the so-called 'climate facade' within the framework of Dutch Social Housing. The climate facade integrates thermal insulation, space heating and ventilation into the facade by means of solar collectors, covered cold bridges, closed balconies and galleries. The intention of this research was the registration of the energy use of the individual households in order to determine possible explanations for the differences in energy use among the households. In addition the acceptance of the high-energy-efficient renovated house by its residents has been determined. The results of the houses with the climate facade will be compared with the results of reference-houses. The general evaluation of the high-energy-efficient renovated house is good. Seventy percent of the respondents indicated that the house in total exceeded their expectations. The total evaluation of the high-energy-efficient house appears to correspond strongly with the evaluation of the indoor climate and the heating system. Improving the functioning of the heating- and ventilation system will therefore also improve the contentment with the high-energy-efficient house in total. The high-energy-efficient renovated house with a climate facade made no particular demands on the behavior of the residents, given that during the period of the research no severe cold winter was experienced. The concept of the high-energy-efficient renovated house does not yet fulfill all the formulated demands. Some improvements must be made, especially in the energy consumption for space heating of the climate facade houses. From a resident's point of view the remarks made in this report need not hinder the building of other projects conforming with this concept. (Abstract Truncated)
