Sensitivity analysis results
• Intelligent window thermal loss control -10% savings in heating
• VAV sizing can be between 2-3 l/s according to the space needs for ducting
• Night time set point temperature can only achieve minor energy savings and higher morning peaks
• Effect of thermal mass (150, 100 & 60 mm concrete slab) in energy consumption is small

• Helsinki was reduced to 60 kWh/m2/year (60% beyond the base case)• London was reduced to 54 kWh/m2/year (65% beyond the base case)• Bucharest was reduced to 64.6 kWh/m2/year (70% reduction beyond base case)
Conclusions
• In low-energy solutions the electricity consumption dominated the total energy consumption profile (also when compared with heating)
• Greater reductions in Bucharest case due to significant improvements in the thermal properties of the building envelope
• Window and wall ratio is moderately larger for London as compared to Helsinki and Bucharest
• Harnessing solar energy gains in Bucharest are high• Future research continues to reach zero enery goals in all three climate
zones • Underground Piles and Solar panels are being evaluated to balance the
energy consumption
