Daylight
CENERGIA’s work on ventilation and thermal conditions has had the result that the company has included another important room climate factor, daylight, with great advantage.

Together with acoustics, thermal comfort and air quality, light conditions affect peoples’ wellbeing. CENERGIA has especially worked on daylight in connection with other techniques that have an influence on the daylight. E.g. the use of natural ventilation means that most of the used windows can be utilised as a ventilation source. By working with optimisation of daylight combined with optimisation of the natural ventilation it is possible to make a design that takes both matters into account.

Lifecycle assessment
CENERGIA works very deliberately on sustainable and ecological solutions. This means that it is necessary to work with lifecycle assessments. A lifecycle assessment means that the influence on the environment of a building is assessed from production to transport of building materials, energy consumption in a building and to demolition of the building.

The word assessment is used instead of analysis, as we are aware that a complete analysis requires a huge amount of information from producers and power stations. To be able to give useful advice, CENERGIA has participated in an EU-Thermie project about development of a practical and simple tool for lifecycle assessment. The result is called BEEAM (Building Energy and Environmental Assessment Method). BEEAM contains four methods with different detail levels and therefore it can be used in all phases of the planning.

CENERGIA does also work together with the Danish Research Institute on their development of a Danish lifecycle assessment program "BEAT". We attempt to affect the program to tend towards a practical tool for consultants.

Advanced calculation and simulation
CENERGIA’s role as a developer requires expert knowledge within advanced calculation and simulation methods. Therefore, CENERGIA keep informed within the research world through participation in Danish and international projects. CENERGIA’s employees have wide experience in and get continuing training in development and application of advanced simulation methods so we can go through innovative development projects when standard calculation methods are insufficient. CENERGIA have both calculation programmes that we have developed ourselves or participated in the development of (Optibuild, BEEAM) and commercial available programmes (TRNSYS, COMIS, SUNCODE, etc.).
