In the Oslo Opera House, focus has been on intelligent demand-controlled ventilation, benchmarking
of the results using the BEMS as well as a building-integrated photovoltaic system, which at the same time functions as solar shading.
During 2008, the energy consumption for both heating and electricity has been nearly twice as large as expected. Calculations and
measurements have shown potentials for significant savings in both categories. Especially the electrical energy consumption can be
explained by several factors: the original budget did not include the restaurant, the workshops or the electrical snow-melting system.
These are all major posts regarding the electricity consumption. Further, the BEMS has not been put into operation yet.
Calculations have shown significant potential for reductions in heating energy consumption mainly related to ventilation, snow melting
and room heating. Further, simplified calculations considering operation time for the ventilation units show that it is possible to
reduce the electricity consumption by 20% by changing the operation conditions.
The solar cells on south façade of the Opera House have been running since 12 February 2009 and had produced 6112 kWh on May 29. In
addition to having a utilitarian value, the solar cells demonstrate to the public that the Opera House is focusing on renewable energy
and has concerns for the environment. |
