Multi-objective optimization in the SEMERGY environment for sustainable building design and retrofit
This paper reports on a specific effort (optimization procedure) within the on-going research and development project SEMERGY. This project is geared towards the development of a decision making environment for performance-guided building design and retrofit. The present contribution illustrates advances towards the creation of a…
IT-Security Check launched
Our web-based IT-security check is now available at https://www.it-sicherheitscheck.at/. The tool enables small- and medium-sized enterprises to efficiently assess their IT security risks and to identify appropriate countermeasures to reduce the risks to an acceptable level. The screencast on https://www.it-sicherheitscheck.at/ provides an in-depth preview of the functionality and…
Definitions – Energy Efficiency Directive
Article 2 of the Energy Efficiency Directive (Directive 2012/27/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 October 2012 on energy efficiency) provides definitions. We list those definition in the following: ‘aggregator’ means a demand service provider that combines multiple short-duration consumer loads for…

Improving The Usability Of Energy Simulation Applications In Processing Common Building Performance Inquiries
Building performance simulation tools must be supplied with large amounts of information. Conventional approaches to gathering such information are often cumbersome and time-consuming. Hence, opportunities for in-depth simulation-supported exploration of design and retrofit options may not be optimally exploited. Thus, efforts are necessary to support…
Exploring the Utility of Semantic Web Technology in Building Performance Simulation
The simulation-based assessment and evaluation of alternative building design and retrofit options requires large amounts of information. Thus, efforts are necessary to support the process of data search and collection, such that building models for performance evaluation routines and applications could be efficiently populated. The…
