IEA ECBCS Annex 58
During 2011 the network organised two workshops that resulted in the successful submission of the IEA ECBCS Annex 58 proposal on the topic of "Reliable Building Energy Performance Characterisation Based on Full Scale Dynamic Measurements".
Major aim of the Annex 58 project is a collaboration in the ECBCS-context to:
· Develop the necessary knowledge and tools to achieve reliable in-situ dynamic testing and data analysis methods that can be used to characterize and label the effective energy performance of building components and whole buildings.
· Develop procedures with the focus both on the test environment and experimental setup as well as on the data analysis and performance prediction.

More Information about this Annex 58 can be found at the
Annex 58 website.
Organisations or people interested in joining the Annex 58 should contact
Staf Roels.
The outcome of the workshop, on 'Full scale test facilities for hygrothermal analysis', March 30-31 2011 in Brussels with the support of K.U.Leuven and UGent resulted in a colorful book on European outdoor test facilities that can be downloaded from
here (31Mb PDF) or requested from
arnold.janssens@ugent.be.
All papers and presentations from the workshop on 'Whole building testing, evaluation and modelling for energy assessment' in Copenhagen 18-19 May 2011 can be downloaded from the website:

The Network of Excellence
The DYNASTEE network will be involved importantly in the Nettwork of Excellence of the Annex 58.
More information can be found
here (533 kB) (presentation from the Annex 58 kick-off meeting September 18 2011 in Leuven).
Summer school
A Summer School on "
Dynamic calculation methods for building energy assessment"
will be organized 18-22 June 2012 in Denmark at DTU in Lyngby (near Copenhagen).
A preliminary programme can be found
here
(a flyer with details will become available in February).
The cost for the week-long Summer School is 250 Euro.
New version of DYNASTEE CD

On request a copy of the CD with papers, presentations, data and tools can be mailed. Contact please
