The University of Luxembourg, in partnership with the universities of the Greater Region Liège, Lorraine and Kaiserslautern, as well as the consultancy company ICSEED, hosted the fourth TRNSYS EXPERIENCE Seminar on 19 and 20 April 2018 in Belval. This was again a great opportunity to join research, engineering & consultancy around the energy challenges.
Energy used in residential and commercial buildings represents about 40% of the EU’s global energy consumption. Thus, many efforts are done to significantly increase the energy efficiency of buildings. Digital modelling software is playing a prominent role in building energy management and optimisation.
TRNSYS is one of the world's most popular dynamic modelling software for buildings and technical installations. Under this scope, TRNSYS EXPERIENCE is a seminar that aims to promote technical and relational exchanges between TRNSYS users at an international level. This also provides an excellent opportunity to learn about the current state of research, the latest developments in the field of simulation software and the use of TRNSYS for engineering and consulting services.
Mainly orchestrated by Prof. Frank Scholzen from the Research Unit in Engineering Sciences (RUES) at the University of Luxembourg, the fourth TRNSYS EXPERIENCE gathered 50 participants from different universities and companies. The presentations mainly focused on case studies, exchanges between research and practice, as well as further software developments. TRNSYS EXPERIENCE 2018, supported by the University of the Greater Region, was the fourth seminar after Nancy in 2015, Kaiserslautern in 2016 and Arlon in 2017. The next event is scheduled for 2019 or 2020.
