GO-LOCO in ACAPULCO: Acceleration of the application of the LOcal sources and buffers through the development of Comfort models, simulation- and design-tools

Acceleration of the application of the LOcal sources and buffers through the development of Comfort models, simulation- and design-tools

The project investigates sustainable heat and cold supply strategies by developing modelling and control tools. This will ultimately lead to a smaller load of the electricity grid. The project revolves around a close collaboration between research from TU Delft and industry, thanks to its partners Priva, Orange Climate, Van Dorp and The Green Village, as well as external consultants Peter van den Engel and Wouter Beck. 

By the end of the project we will obtain:
1.    A better insight in indoor comfort, among others the impact of a new way of climatising a building is tested. 
2.    Simulation- and design tools in which predictive control of indoor comfort and dynamic comfort definitions are taken into account. 
3.    A further developed roadmap: an extra route to a sustainable built environment, i.e. an ‘all-electric’ solution for buildings in an area with electricity congestion.  
4.    A very energy efficient Co-Creation Centre on the Green Village and an extra energy infrastructure.
