Optimizing Plant Operation at a Passive House School
EA Systems conducted intensive monitoring of the complex plant system at Sonthofen secondary school for two years. Insights into its operating strategy enabled a significant increase in the passive house school’s energy efficiency and a considerable reduction in operating costs. The project demonstrates the importance of validated checks and tests after energy supply systems are commissioned.
