Optimised and intelligent controlled ventilation system, including BeMS


An overview of the location of the six different ventilation systems.
The ventilation systems of cultural buildings are complex because of the buildings' different use patterns. In the theatre, six different ventilation systems are used with very strict demands on acoustics and comfort level.

The project will improve the state-of-the-art by increasing the demand controlled part of the ventilation, by highly efficient heat recovery rate using regenerative heat recovery systems and by heat pumps with storage of surplus heat/cooling in the thermoactive slabs. The buildings will be ventilated with different ventilation systems, using combinations of natural ventilation, pulse ventilation, hybrid ventilation and mechanical ventilation with different control strategies, depending on load and season of the year.

In Denmark, special attention will be given to the stage and theatre hall and auditoriums. As the theatres are not always fully occupied, the ventilation will be controlled by the use of the audience seats. When the seats are used, only the necessary air volume will be distributed.

As cultural buildings are complex by nature, not least with the systems described above, an intelligent BeMS system is needed. The project will increase the on-line use of the BeMS system by constantly benchmarking the use of the building with references. In Denmark, the BeMS system will be connected to four other theatres for direct relative comparison under the same weather conditions.

The energy savings by an optimised BeMS system will normally result in about 10% reduction in energy consumption, which will be achieved through specialist follow-up in the commissioning period.
