Project Features
 As Demonstration projects the ZEB@BCAA offers opportunities
to apply new technologies in a real world building.

 The test bedding platform serves to reduce the risk for
large scale application of new technologies in real public and
private sectors buildings. It gives a conduit to accelerate
the up-take of new technologies in the construction sector.

 Demonstration project serves as an important link between
up stream research and the industry, by providing opportunities
for prototyping and test-bedding.

Project Features
 As Demonstration projects the ZEB@BCAA offers opportunities
to apply new technologies in a real world building.

 The test bedding platform serves to reduce the risk for
large scale application of new technologies in real public and
private sectors buildings. It gives a conduit to accelerate
the up-take of new technologies in the construction sector.

 Demonstration project serves as an important link between
up stream research and the industry, by providing opportunities
for prototyping and test-bedding.

Project Features
 As Demonstration projects the ZEB@BCAA offers opportunities
to apply new technologies in a real world building.

 The test bedding platform serves to reduce the risk for
large scale application of new technologies in real public and
private sectors buildings. It gives a conduit to accelerate
the up-take of new technologies in the construction sector.

 Demonstration project serves as an important link between
up stream research and the industry, by providing opportunities
for prototyping and test-bedding.

Project Features
 As Demonstration projects the ZEB@BCAA offers opportunities
to apply new technologies in a real world building.

 The test bedding platform serves to reduce the risk for
large scale application of new technologies in real public and
private sectors buildings. It gives a conduit to accelerate
the up-take of new technologies in the construction sector.

 Demonstration project serves as an important link between
up stream research and the industry, by providing opportunities
for prototyping and test-bedding.

Project Features
 As Demonstration projects the ZEB@BCAA offers opportunities
to apply new technologies in a real world building.

 The test bedding platform serves to reduce the risk for
large scale application of new technologies in real public and
private sectors buildings. It gives a conduit to accelerate
the up-take of new technologies in the construction sector.

 Demonstration project serves as an important link between
up stream research and the industry, by providing opportunities
for prototyping and test-bedding.

Project Features
 As Demonstration projects the ZEB@BCAA offers opportunities
to apply new technologies in a real world building.

 The test bedding platform serves to reduce the risk for
large scale application of new technologies in real public and
private sectors buildings. It gives a conduit to accelerate
the up-take of new technologies in the construction sector.

 Demonstration project serves as an important link between
up stream research and the industry, by providing opportunities
for prototyping and test-bedding.

Objectives 2
The project aims to mount specific studies:



Development and documentation of the
Total Building Performance approach in the development
of Green and Energy Efficient buildings.



Evaluation, selection and applications of appropriate remote
sensing, monitoring and control technologies for building
systems, and its integration with large infra-structure system.



Project Features
 As Demonstration projects the ZEB@BCAA offers opportunities
to apply new technologies in a real world building.

 The test bedding platform serves to reduce the risk for
large scale application of new technologies in real public and
private sectors buildings. It gives a conduit to accelerate
the up-take of new technologies in the construction sector.

 Demonstration project serves as an important link between
up stream research and the industry, by providing opportunities
for prototyping and test-bedding.

Objectives 2
The project aims to mount specific studies:



Development and documentation of the
Total Building Performance approach in the development
of Green and Energy Efficient buildings.



Evaluation, selection and applications of appropriate remote
sensing, monitoring and control technologies for building
systems, and its integration with large infra-structure system.



Indoor environmental quality studies.

Project Features
 As Demonstration projects the ZEB@BCAA offers opportunities
to apply new technologies in a real world building.

 The test bedding platform serves to reduce the risk for
large scale application of new technologies in real public and
private sectors buildings. It gives a conduit to accelerate
the up-take of new technologies in the construction sector.

 Demonstration project serves as an important link between
up stream research and the industry, by providing opportunities
for prototyping and test-bedding.

Objectives 2
The project aims to mount specific studies:



Development and documentation of the
Total Building Performance approach in the development
of Green and Energy Efficient buildings.



Evaluation, selection and applications of appropriate remote
sensing, monitoring and control technologies for building
systems, and its integration with large infra-structure system.



Project Features
 As Demonstration projects the ZEB@BCAA offers opportunities
to apply new technologies in a real world building.

 The test bedding platform serves to reduce the risk for
large scale application of new technologies in real public and
private sectors buildings. It gives a conduit to accelerate
the up-take of new technologies in the construction sector.

 Demonstration project serves as an important link between
up stream research and the industry, by providing opportunities
for prototyping and test-bedding.

Objectives 1
Create a demonstration project by retrofitting an
existing block of building (Block A) within the present
CITI into a full scale, real world live-in
Zero Energy Building.
The R&D elements in the implementation of the project
include:
a.
b.
c.
d.
e.
f.

the processes of technologies selection and evaluation,
performance prediction and modeling,
design integration,
procurement and technology partnership development,
monitoring and control,
testing and commissioning.

Objectives 2
The project aims to mount specific studies:



Development and documentation of the
Total Building Performance approach in the development
of Green and Energy Efficient buildings.



Evaluation, selection and applications of appropriate remote
sensing, monitoring and control technologies for building
systems, and its integration with large infra-structure system.



Indoor environmental quality studies.



Performance modeling and simulation studies.
