LUNDGAARD & TRANBERG ARKITEKTFIRMA A/S
In the Royal Danish Playhouse, focus has been on heat pumps, seawater cooling, thermo-active slabs and the use of environmental concrete. Of the 10 defined target values in the project, six have been achieved directly; one would have been met if the operation time of the building had been as expected. The final three cannot be shown to have been achieved due to a problem in the layout of the cooling central.

However, the initial measurements that are available indicate that the last three targets will be met. This includes a reduction in cooling consumption and CO2 emission by 71%, compared to an expected value of 75%. The reduction in heating consumption is 42%, and 67% of the related CO2 emission. This large drop is partially helped by lower emission related to the distributed district heating.

Among the new technologies, especially the combination of thermo-active slabs and heat pumps for heating and cooling using seawater as the reservoir has been adopted in new building projects. Variations of this concept using groundwater or LTES have also been designed in more recent projects.

Finally, even with the impressive results that have already been reached, there is still a potential for improvement. This improvement will be facilitated by the large amount of metering equipment.
