An additional cooling element is

An additional cooling sphingosine is needed to achieve the required cooling capacity, particularly a room temperature of 26°C. In terms of comfort, further investigations concerning the cooling element must be conducted. The change from single-skin façade to single-story double-skin façade is a good method of increasing the cooling capacity. However, the room temperatures in the tested configurations remain above 26°C. Aside from temperature reduction, another benefit is a significant change in comfort within the rooms because of the second glazing element. The research results also show the possibilities and limits of the cooling capacity of a cooling ceiling in retrofitting an existing building.

Its main goal is to provide doctoral students of the research area “Energy and Environment“ a remarkably structured and interdisciplinary education. Ten PhD positions are advertised and supported as part of the College of the Technical University of Vienna.
