UCEEB - ENERGY MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS IN BUILDINGS
Head of research team: Tomáš Matuška
WHAT WE DO:
Development, implementation and deployment of modern building energy management
systems.
Advanced decentralised energy source concepts featuring renewable energy.
Development of optimised energy-generating components integrated into building
envelopes to leverage local renewable energy.
Development of technical systems to ensure minimum consumption of primary fuels.
Research, development and testing of innovative multipurpose energy solutions providing
heating, cooling and electricity, such as hybrid solar collectors and advanced heat pumps,
as well as efficient storage of heating and cooling energy.
Design of complex technical systems technology systems for efficient integration
of energy sources into buildings and energy grids using intelligent control.
Design and development of microcogeneration devices based on gas microturbines
in combination with the organic Rankine cycle technology.
OUR EQUIPMENT:
Energy laboratory - research on thermal
cycles with emphasis on low-temperature
ORC technology and microcogeneration
(experimental microturbine).
Solar laboratory - fully-automated testing
system with solar radiation simulator
for year-round certification testing of solar
collectors and systems.
Heat pumps and cooling technology
laboratory - testing of heat pumps, cooling
technology and individual components in
a testing chamber with two double walled
chambers (temperature range -15 °C to +40 °C).
Experiments involving co-operation
of different energy sources in real conditions
use the UCEEB’s building energy management
system, which includes a photovoltaic system
(roof, facade), a gas microturbine, absorption
and adsorption cooling units and compressor
chiller including free cooling and large-volume
heating/cooling energy storage. All these facilities are available for external
partners. We provide both our facilities and
professional operators, including consulting
services.
