The laboratories of the research centre in Jülich show significant defects and are in need
of retrofit. The defects and the old, partly broken air-conditioning system led to a high energy consumption and high energy costs. Special
for laboratories are high internal loads because of a high amount of measuring instruments, a need of protection for the users because of
harmful substances and a lot of technical equipments including air-conditioning systems.
Retrofit features:
Replacement of the existing insulation of the external walls.
New windows with low-E-coated glazings.
User-dependent air-streams of the ventilation systems.
Additional cooling with water.
Centralisation of the exhaust-air and installation of a heat exchanger.
Improvement of the efficiency of the fans and reduction of the high ventilation rate.
