Design

Building
Due to the potential placing of the Brewery on the list of national heritage, there is currently no possibility to design any thermal insulation on the outside walls. Only the roof will be insulated to obtain a U-value around 0,15 W/m²K. Due to very small windows, it was decided not to use very advanced Low-E- windows.

Plants
So far the heating systems designed using classical boilers. Now changes are being made to consider heat pump/condensing boiler together with underground water reservoir. Mechanical ventilation system so far designed with heat recovery units to recover heat from kitchens and restaurants. Design of hybrid ventilation and its collaboration with mechanical system under way.
BEMS
Basic design of BEMS system finished, now changes to integrate additional measuring equipment for monitoring are under way.
