Challenges of Innovation: Summer Overheating in an Administrative Building
A study was carried out in the summer of 2006, and it concerns a situation of high summer temperature in the offices of a recently constructed administrative building with no air conditioning. This case illustrate to the point of caricature the link between use and functioning. The overheating indicator used by the design office for the energy concept was directly derived from the standards of Swiss engineers and architects (SIA standards) in force at the time of the design and commissioning of the building (2005). Of the three standards that addressed issues related to air conditioning and ventilation installations, SIA 382/3 defines, among other things, the "proof of need" for air conditioning in a building. The design office in charge of the energy concept carried out a series of simulations during the project phase, which strictly complied with the SIA 382/3 standard.
