Are there any measured data from TermoDeck projects to show the benefits of TermoDeck with respect to energy savings?
Yes: There are measured data from Sweden, UK and Middle East Swedish buildings from the late 1980s have an energy consumption of between 30-50 kWh/m2 and year for heating. New building regulations will improve this value in new buildings. (In Stockholm, the degree days are 3570, 239 days of heating season and average outdoor temperature = 6.7oC) UK; Elizabeth Fry Building is one of the most energy efficient buildings in UK. The heating consumption has been measured for over ten years and it is around 25-30 kWh/m2 and year. See also Table 1. Middle East: A report carried out in 2005 by ASA Consulting[2] showed that TermoDeck would save around 40% in running costs compared to conventional HVAC systems. The installed cooling capacity would be reduced by around 50%.
