Eco-culture




Sixth Framework Programme


Introduction

Ecobuildings - Eco-culture

ECO-Culture vital characteristics

The ECO-Culture project addresses demonstration of energy efficient technologies inte-grated into three high-performing cultural ECO-buildings:

  • The Danish Royal Theatre, Copenhagen, Denmark
  • The Amsterdam Library, Amsterdam, The Netherlands
  • The New Opera House, Oslo, Norway.

The demonstration technologies

Focus will be on investigations, demonstration and testing of the following technologies which have been selected out of the integrated ECO-concepts as being especially innovative and contributing to further development:

  • Energy Storage (DK-"climate belt" with thermoactive slabs, NL-double aquifer)
  • Heat Pump (DK-sea water, NL-ground water)
  • Advanced demand controlled hybrid ventilation
  • Building integrated PV systems
  • Advanced Building Energy Management Systems (BEMS) and benchmarking
  • Use of Environmental Friendly Concrete for thermal storage in thermoactive slabs.
Project Start: April 2004       Project end date: 2009.
