EnergiMidt in Thailand

EnergiMidt is developing advanced low-energy housing in close collaboration with two companies specialised in low energy design of buildings, TG Building System in Thailand and Esbensen Consulting Engineers in Denmark. Energy savings of at least 40% and advanced use of prefabricated units reducing construction time to a third of the normal are important aspects. The work is supported by the Danish International Development Assistance DANIDA, acting through TMB Bank Plc. in Thailand.

A large unexploited potential for energy savings exists in the Thai building sector. Detailed climate and comfort measurements, advanced computer simulations, new building materials and innovative renewable energy systems combined with many years of experience in the Thai market provide the basis for new design concepts for highly energy efficient housing with superior indoor climate conditions. Key design features include passive cooling techniques, air tightness, insulation and use of solar energy and other advanced energy technologies.

The design is based on an integrated energy design approach, where all the features from the building shell itself are combined with innovative energy systems and efficient building services and controls. Thereby high performance and low cost can be combined to achieve a highly competitive product on the housing market in Thailand.
