The main research aims of the group are the evolution of a new generation of buildings and settlements concerning environmental, climatic, comfort and energy saving methods. To achieve this we use and develope comfort (light, heat, ari quaility), energy and numerical aerodynamic simulations. Within this a special aim is to create a guideline for architects and mechanical engineers for the design of natural ventilation in buildings. The other most important project of the group is to improve our registred trademark - the Energy Design Method for buildings with plus energy balances. In the next stage a new method will be created - Energy Design Synthesis - with the help of artificial inteligence based mathematical solutions and simulation series. As a result the EDS can help the designers and architects to create a guaranteed optimal eco-friendly house with the given circumstances.
Based on the regular dimensions of the Szentágothai Research Centre (SRC), building ‘A’, a comprehensive investigation aims to test an introverted building design concept: with closing the external building envelope (without external windows) largest part of solar loads in summer as well as heat losses in winter are to be reduced. Internal courtyard(s) or atria should provide the necessary natural lighting and ventilation. The interior possesses open an office environment as a multifunctional co-working space. As an effect of this strategy, the daylight autonomy of the interior can suffer due to reduced wall-window ratio (WWR) of the façade. Crucial question is to clarify the contradiction between daylight comfort reduction vs. thermal comfort improvement as well as rising lighting energy demand against decreased heating and cooling requirement. Though a sensitivity analysis, different courtyard/atria dimensions and geometries, building sizes and shapes are calculated via thermal simulations. Goal is to firstly define solutions for courtyard and building dimensions and shapes, which can satisfy higher comfort and energy requirements by simultaneously conserving great amount of energy consumption – compared to today’s conventional modern offices.

The zero step is to absolve an exhaustive simulation model validation, using mathematical statistics as (CV)RMSE, NMBE, etc. First, the HVAC system is to be further developed by simplifying the existing complicated systems, as well as applying sophisticated automation system to operate the services systems (heating and cooling units in the rooms, mechanical ventilation, lighting) in a considerably more efficient way. Secondly, implementing sophisticated combinations of passive ventilation, modified WWR, improved thermal mass and shading shows the potential that hides behind the development possibilities. A sensitivity analysis helps to assess and evaluate the most affecting factors on energy efficiency and comfort.
Approx. 50% of the world energy consumption is related to buildings and building industry. The EDS methodology guarantees optimal buildings in terms of comfort and energy by making use of artificial intelligence (AI) techniques, as the synthesis based P-graph framework, back tracking algorithms. Complex building physics simulations support the method. The next step is to apply the opaque (garage) and transparent (greenhouse) building parts to the already developed family house building models to complete the integration of all passive strategies based building design factors. Thereafter, the services systems need to be combined with the elaborated passive building model versions. Heat transfer and heat generation systems as well as energy sources are modelled in the previously built thermal simulation models The definition of all feasible model combinations, having the potential being optimal building in comfort and energy is complemented by theoretical and applied mathematicians (Prof. Dr. Ferenc Friedler, Dr. Zsolt Ercsey). Lastly, optimal automation of all passive and active systems is modelled in the same optimum finding modelling process, considering all related alternatives. A sophisticated evaluation system is developed, to enable free eligible preferences between thermal and visual comfort (daylight factor, daylight autonomy, annual solar exposure), air hygiene (CO2-concentration), heating, cooling, lighting and ventilation energy demand, construction investment costs, life cycle assessment (LCA). The gained complete model sample collection includes all relevant comfort, energy and LCA performance, linked to their according architectural, physical as well as technical properties (attributes). By learning from the interdependencies between the performance results and the model attributes new learning rules are derived, which, integrated into the design method’s algorithm, will be capable to automatically decide between planning steps and alternative solutions. In this way an automated intelligent algorithm can create optimal building designs under particular input task circumstances. A software development is foreseen.

The research focusses on various roof and chimney-tower structure development to enable and improve the natural ventilation (NV) rate and the night cooling effect in industry halls under moderate climate conditions. This makes it possible to save considerable amount of operation energy and financial expenses. The passive air conduction system (PACS) is developed in a systematic manner using aerodynamic similarity principles and scaling laws, providing a broad range of solutions among ventilation tower and ventilation roof structure geometries, sizing calculation methods for number and dimension of the ventilation elements. Additionally, the optimal (efficient) spatial arrangement of the ventilation structures will be defined as well to ensure maximum airflow rates. The fluid mechanics calculations are carried out in the framework of CFD simulations using ANSYS Workbench.

Development of a modular, environment friendly, extendable residential and community building with net zero and energy-positive balance potential, using prefabricated wooden structures for rapid construction purposes (approved GINOP grant project). As a result of the applied synthesis (ENERGY DESIGN 2.0) and thermal simulations based R+D 1st phase, 2 family house are to be elaborated in a modular building structure system for an industrial prefabricated wood technology. With use of dynamic thermal simulations structures, building materials as well as HVAC system variations will be tested and the optimum combinations between them clarified. Final construction plans must be developed and planned on the basis of the 1st and 2nd R+D phases. In addition, building services systems, electrical and civil engineering design work package is also involved in the process. With help of thermal simulations, an efficient energy management and operation guide will be elaborated for smart and sustainable running of the mechanical and electrical systems and the natural ventilation.
