The first public bioclimatic building in Greece.

This is the new Lamia DYAA bioclimatic building with a total space of 4110 square meters,   a real “jewel” not only for the region but for the whole of Greece. It bears the signature of Vassilis Triantafyllou who is an Architect-Engineer of Lamia and also, professor at the University of Patra.

The cooling – heating of the building can be achieved by two geothermal pumps of 140Kw each, which are supplied by a ground heat exchanger (16.000m) of horizontal pipes which are placed almost to the whole extent of the surrounding area of the building.

In the offices, cooling and heating are provided by means of heat transfer systems with ceiling or wall fan coils which are supplied through a 2-pipe from a geothermal pump.  For air renewal in the spaces, Air Handling Units are used, which are also supplied by the geothermal pumps.

The Air Handling Unit is used in the Events Hall. Air conditioning of the Hall is provided through  air ducts on the roof. There is complete independence in the cooling and heating systems accordingly to the needs of each space (offices, meeting rooms, Event Hall) in order to save more energy in the operation of the geothermal pumps and circulators.

For the lighting of the building LED light technology lamps were used. The choice of lamps has been made so that the correct lighting level can be achieved in the various spaces, as well as the desired appearance of the building from the outside. By selecting the LED light technology lamps, energy saving in lighting consumption, totals up to 60%.

A photovoltaic system of 114Kw has been installed in the building. The system consists of two separate system a 90Kw on the roof of the building and a 24Kw on the glass panes of the external walls. At selected points of the building, glass panes that have built-in photovoltaic panels have been installed in the correct orientation. In the basement of the building 7 inverters have been installed together with the central electric panels. The estimated photovoltaic energy output covers almost 100% of the building consumption.

Iq-buildings has designed and developed BMS for the first public bioclimatic energy independent building in Greece with self-learning logic, which manages all the subsystems of the building, with the aim to centralise control of it and deliver the greatest energy saving.
