Materials The building construction of concrete ceilings, load-bearing lime sand brick and concrete walls, and non supporting gypsum plasterboard walls corresponds to the current state of the art in residential building. The same applies to the sanitary-ware and electrical equipment. The outer shell is designed as a thermal insulation composite system with 14cm thick insulation (EPS). The wooden windows with double glazing achieve a U-value of 1.4. The building is heated by means of district heating. Pursuant to the energy-saving certificate, the building undercuts the requirements of the German Energy Saving Ordinance (Energieeinsparverordnung - EnEV 2001) by roughly 25%. Procedure The planners and administration agreed in advance to take an isolated view of the building, irrespective of the actual surroundings in Tübingen. Several alternative planning scenarios were used for the software test, simulating adjustment of the model’s parameter and optimisation of the planning process in several steps. Development feasibility study, variant A (photograph by Gudrun De Maddalena) The trial run of the program took place following familiarisation of the accompanying documentation. The data stored in the program correspond to the Dutch specifications (building law, energy saving, building standards, etc.) from 2004. The aim of the trial run was not to evaluate the reference object but to examine the applicability and the appropriateness of the software to be used within German framework conditions. Program Application During the trial, the software ran smoothly without any problems. No user problems in the program application appeared. However, several deficits in the content were identified: ■ The program only focuses on the three monofunctional types of building – residential building, office building and school building. Urban mixed forms are not included. The selected test object (a residential and office building) therefore had to be adapted to the predetermined conditions. This automatically influences the results. ■ Two reference objects are stored for each building type. This enables an appraisal by using a direct comparison with buildings that are not described or documented in detail. ■ It is not possible to enter different building heights or different types of roofs for one building. This would require making adaptations, which would influence the result. 30

application appeared.<br />
However, several deficits <strong>in</strong> the content were<br />
identified:<br />
■ The program only focuses on the three monofunctional types of build<strong>in</strong>g<br />
– residential build<strong>in</strong>g, office build<strong>in</strong>g and school build<strong>in</strong>g. Urban mixed<br />
forms are not <strong>in</strong>cluded. The selected test object (a residential and office<br />
build<strong>in</strong>g) therefore had to be adapted to the predeterm<strong>in</strong>ed conditions.<br />
This automatically <strong>in</strong>fluences the results.<br />
■ Two reference objects are stored for each build<strong>in</strong>g type. This enables an<br />
appraisal by us<strong>in</strong>g a direct comparison with build<strong>in</strong>gs that are not<br />
described or documented <strong>in</strong> detail.<br />
■ It is not possible to enter different build<strong>in</strong>g heights or different types of<br />
roofs for one build<strong>in</strong>g. This would require mak<strong>in</strong>g adaptations, which<br />
would <strong>in</strong>fluence the result.<br />
