1 Background information

1.1 Agenda







1.2 Date and venue

The 4th and final expert workshop on Integrated Design focused on lessons learned from

demonstration projects and took place on 26 November 2014 in Vienna, Austria. The

workshop was hold at aspern IQ, which is the winner of the GB ID Award 2014

(www.integrateddesign.eu/toolkits/ID_award.php). aspern IQ is a plus energy and mixed use

building which followed an integrated design approach.

1.3 About the sessions

The workshop was divided into two sessions. The morning session was about international

demonstration projects and lessons learned. The afternoon session was dedicated to two

guided tours:

Tour 1: Building aspern IQ;

Tour 2: The biggest construction site in Europe - Aspern Urban Lakeside.

1.4 Attendees and impact

40 stakeholders from 12 different European countries have attended to the meeting. Most

stakeholders came from consulting, architecture and research. People were actively

participating, had lots of questions and provided essential input. Therefore the impact of the

event can be considered as high. International experience exchange is one of the most

important elements in driving the application of new approaches and ideas such as ID. Also

about 45 brochures on good practice examples and lesson learned could be distributed

(www.integrateddesign.eu/downloads/Brochure-PE-LL.pdf).

2.2 Welcome words and introduction

Klemens Leutgöb, project coordinator of the MaTrID project (www.integrateddesign.eu), and

Raphael Bointner, project coordinator of the AIDA project (www.aidaproject.eu), introduced

into both IEE-projects. The expert workshop was a common event between those two sister

projects. Meaningful synergies could be used.

The main message was that sharing know-how among international stakeholders is a key

asset for success of integrated design. Also the application of life cycle cost analysis is

important for the success of a building project.

2.3 Lessons learned from Integrated Design projects

Dirk Jäger (BIG): University of Innsbruck, Austria

Mr. Jäger started to explain how their 2-phase competition was approached. Otherwise they

would have had too many ideas to judge. They have applied ID after the competition. Their

lesson learned was, that they should have applied ID already earlier. However, they didn’t

want to irritate architects.

ID is not a new process but really new is the focus on costs after occupants are in the

building. Some time ago, nobody was looking into following costs. For Mr. Jäger monitoring

is most important. The satisfaction of occupants – and not only energy demands – is a key

element which should be looked at closely.

Furthermore, the loops (iterative process) are essential. People from outside have new ideas

and it is challenging to integrate the people and their ideas. Therefore, the earlier you start

the better. Actually the whole process works faster with loops, but people think that a process

with loops is slower. Experts worked closely together with architects but not with the owner.

Next time the owner needs to be informed and involved much more. Mr. Jäger concluded

that a standardized ID process would be much of help.

Jerzy Kwiatkowski (NAPE): Hotel "Golden Tulip" Zakopane, Poland

Mr. Kwiatkowski explained that they have divided the process into 4 steps. Regular meetings

very much important, but distances among different experts were between 120-360 km and



such a fact has to be considered. There was one responsible person for communication in

each company. This person spread information in digested form to the internal team.

The most important element is the beginning phase of the project. Also the awareness of the

developer and owner are crucial. A SWOT analysis of such a process is good to have. They

had a payback time of 8-10 years envisaged. Economics had the highest priority of the

project for the client.

Andy Sutton (BRE): Arts centre CreativeWorks, UK

The new arts centre for Welsh Valleys is a mixed used object. The potential for renewable

energies was very limited. Therefore 3 concept designs with different energy modelling was

undertaken. This provides a very good idea which is the best solution. The directions (north-

facing/south-facing), the size of canopies, etc. leads to different heating and cooling

demands and the optimum had to be found.

Lesson learned: The very early stages are very important for the process and the client

needs to have information about risks, costs and time.

Fotini Xyrafi (ALD Architects): Hotel in Milos, Greece

The principle goal was the construction of a five star hotel in a coastal area with an

archaeological interest, which should have a high energy and environmental performance,

preserving at the same time the local biodiversity. Cooperation was done between architect,

owner, manager, hotel expert, civil engineer, finance consultant, mechanical engineer and

ministry staff.

Lessons learned were: The agreement of the owner and the design team for proceeding with

ID from the early phase is crucial. This approach is new in Greece and demands willingness

and good cooperation between the team members.ID minimizes the costs and reduces the

workload and iterations.

Michal Lesinsky (Institute for Energy Passive Houses): Residential building

Petrzalske dvory, Slovakia

Mr. Lesinsky presented a residential building as good practice example from Slovakia. Also

they have applied an iterative problem solving approach. They had highly demanding targets

as an impulse for ID process, e.g. Energy class A (<27 kWh/m2), PED class A1 (<63

kWh/m2), cost limits (160 EUR/m3), limit of selling price (1,750 EUR/m2), etc.

Lessons learned from the ID process are: ID is an ideal approach for HQ projects and

minimizing building extra costs. Well trained ID Facilitator is a key factor for an effective ID

team. Regular ID is time consuming in early stages.

Clara Ferrer (ASCAMM Foundation, Spain): The ZEMedS project

Mrs. Ferrer was invited as special guest. She is the project leader of the IEE-project ZEMedS

(www.zemeds.eu) and briefly presented the project poster. Her aim was to call attention of

experts to their tool-kit in order to obtain feedback and ideas how to improve the draft paper.

The paper was spread to the audience.

Feedback should be given to: [email protected].

2.4 AIDA presentations

Giulia Paoletti (EURAC research, Italy): IED in municipalities, AIDA project

Mrs. Paoletti explained their approach how to introduce the energy performance

requirements and Integrated Energy Design process into public design tenders. First you

need to ask How is the nZEB defined? What does nZEB mean? How is the balance

calculated? Afterwards you can bring a definition of nZEB targets, minimum energy

performance indexes and also a method for energy balance calculation (building system

boundary, balance metric, weighting system, RES). There are case studies from Barcelona,

Brixen and Merano.

Lessons learned: Define a facilitator who is able to manage the process and an expert on

nZEB. Also the introduction of nZEB target requirements within public design tenders is an

innovative strategy.

Evi Tzanakaki (CRES, Greece): Securing sustainability: promoting and

supporting nZEBs in municipal practice, AIDA project

Mrs. Tzanakaki introduced about Affirmative Integrated Energy Design Contact Points and

explained why such contact points would be important. The role of such contact points would

be: provisioning of information about roadmaps and tenders; reaching commitments with

municipalities; boosting campaigns for nZEB action. Thereby, she highlighted the importance

of study tours as she considers “seeing is believing".

3 Afternoon session: guided tours

aspern IQ

The technology centre aspern IQ is the winner of the GreenBuilding Integrated Design Award

2014 and other top-class distinctions. aspern IQ is a vital signal of Viennas efforts on energy

efficiency and renewable energies in buildings. The building combines passive house quality

and a plus energy standard on more than 6,000 m2.

The tour was guided by Mr. Werner Weiss from the Vienna Business Agency. During the tour

experts are invited to ask questions about the building and the applied ID process.

Asper Urban Lakeside

aspern IQ is embedded in the city development area Seestadt Aspern. The Aspern Urban

Lakeside development is the creation of a "city within a city" with a diverse spectrum of urban

functions, a brand new centre for Vienna's 22nd district, the surrounding area and the wider

Centrope region. Given the long development horizon of over two decades, the property

owners and the City of Vienna have agreed on a cooperative management process to ensure

a universal high quality of planning, design and implementation throughout.

The tour was guided by Marvin Mitterwallner from Wien 3420 Aspern Development AG.

4 Discussion

Ronnie Hollsten (KanEnergi, Sweden) moderated the last time slot about recommendations

on Integrated Design and generally asked the audience “What is your recommendation to

increase the use of ID”. Following answers and ideas popped up:

We need clearer information on benefits in a format which can be presented to

clients and developers. It is all about money, risk and time. Identify risks in the very

early stages in order to avoid them.

Education about ID has to start already at university. Collaborative approaches could

be already taught at schools.

An integrated supervision would be required after construction in order to obtain

feedback.

We need to have a broader scope and need to look at adaptability of buildings and

its functions. Energy goals are just one part of ID, e.g. health and maintenance are

important issues. ID should focus on people and they should be happy. A cultural

change in organizations is also needed.

We need encouragement and policies. ID is not driven forward by policies today as

it should be. But encouragement is there.
