Summary

This paper presents the progress of the CEC-concerted action for the design of control systems for passive solar buildings and dwellings.

Each of the three participants has made a “state of the art” report. It turns out that sufficient control devices and sensors are available on the market. However, a lack of knowledge about the characteristics of passive components was observed.

The framework of designs of the control systems are defined and possibilities for the control algorithms are summarized.

TU Delft has built a test cell, so that together with the test cell of ARMINES/CSTB the control systems can be tested.

The activities of the next periods are:

  • further development of the control system

  • selection of the best control strategy.
