Resumen


Abstract

Thermally Activated Building Systems (TABS) play an essential part in the thermal response of buildings, in terms of dynamic adaptation and energy storage, enabling the separation between thermal energy generation and use. TABS can operate with low temperature, allowing the efficient utilization of renewable energy. Their thermal capacity needs to be managed by a control system, shifting TABS operation to time periods when energy production is most efficient and cost-effective. In this paper, a review of the operation strategies adopted for TABS is provided, in their specific integration in an existing office building in Madrid (Spain). The present control strategies are part of an integrated process, including the design phase, commissioning of TABS, monitoring, and optimization during operation. The effort to take advantage of the energy potential of the original structure, in combination with constant follow-up and management, puts the building on track to achieve a LEED Platinum rating. In line with the standards pursued by the LEED Rating System, a systematic audit procedure is conducted, aiming at the optimization of TABS energy performance, with the identification of energy waste and execution of corrective operations for the improvement of thermal comfort for the occupants.

Resumen

Los sistemas termoactivos juegan un papel importante en la respuesta térmica de los edificios, en términos de adaptación dinámica y almacenamiento de energía, generando un desfase entre la generación de energía térmica y su utilización. Las estructuras termoactivas pueden funcionar con bajas temperaturas, permitiendo el uso eficiente de energía renovable. Su capacidad térmica necesita ser gestionada por un sistema de control, que traslada la operación de las estructuras termoactivas a períodos en los que la producción de energía resulta más eficiente y rentable. En este artículo se proporciona un estudio de las estrategias operativas adoptadas para estructuras termoactivas, en su integración concreta en un edificio de oficinas existente en Madrid (España). Dichas estrategias de control forman parte de un proceso integrado que incluye la fase de diseño, la puesta en marcha, la monitorización, y la optimización del rendimiento de las estructuras termoactivas durante su explotación. El esfuerzo de aprovechar el potencial energético de la estructura original, en combinación con su constante seguimiento y gestión, hace que el edificio esté en el camino de lograr la certificación LEED Platino. En línea con los objetivos perseguidos por el sistema de certificación LEED, se aplica un procedimiento de auditoria especifico destinado a la optimización del comportamiento energético de los sistemas termoactivos, a través de la identificación de gastos de energía innecesarios y la ejecución de acciones correctivas para la mejora del confort térmico de los ocupantes.
