Directive 2010/31/EU promotes the refurbishment of existing buildings to change them into nearly zero-energy buildings (nZEBs). Within this framework, it is of crucial importance to guarantee the best trade-off between energy performance and indoor environmental quality (IEQ). The implications of a global refurbishment scenario on thermal and visual comfort are assessed in this paper pertaining to an existing office building. The retrofit actions applied to achieve the nZEB target consist of a combination of envelope and technical building systems refurbishment measures, involving both HVAC and lighting. Energy and comfort calculations were carried out through dynamic simulation using Energy Plus and DIVA, for the thermal and visual performance assessments, respectively. The results point out that energy retrofit actions on the building envelope would lead to significant improvements in the thermal performance, regarding both energy savings (−37% of the annual primary energy for heating) and thermal comfort. However, a daylighting reduction would occur with a consequent higher electricity demand for lighting (36%). The research presents a detailed approach applicable to further analyses aimed at optimizing the energy efficiency measures in order to reduce the imbalance between visual and thermal comfort and to ensure the best performance in both domains.

Infrastructure development in Indonesia continued to show progress, including the development of the port as a place which is an integrated system consisting of transport in the waters, port, safety and security, and environmental protection in maritime. Lampung province that has the port will control that is essential for the regions surrounding potential in improving the economy, especially industry and trade both nationally and internationally. The purpose of this study was to assess the Port of Panjang infrastructure development as an international cargo port. Therefore, researchers using the theory to fill positivistic approach and examples of best practice to fill rationalistic. Best practice is used is the Port of TanjungPriok, Jakarta, and Port of Busan, South Korea as a cornerstone of researchers to conduct research. The research character is a descriptive. Methods of data collection is done by direct observation to the test site and interview techniques combined with a list of questions to the government and service users. The results showed Port of Panjang Infrastructure meet the minimum requirements of international cargo ports established by the IMO, the Port of Panjang must add infrastructure and supporting facilities. Water facilities, ports should be developed, among others, relocation is docked tug boat, pilot boat and service boat, while the infrastructure to be developed is the yard, office building (banking) and postal telecommunications, reactivation of the railway to transport coal, and gangway to lane expressway passenger sea.

Zero Energy

Lowering energy consumption is one of the most important challenges of the modern world. Since the construction sector accounts for 40% of total energy consumption worldwide, the Parliament of the European Union has developed a Directive, according to which all newly designed and thermally upgraded buildings should meet the requirements of almost zero energy demand (nZEBs) from 1 January 2021. At the same time, in Poland, but also in many other countries in the world, there is a growing oversupply of office space in large cities with a simultaneous increase in demand for apartments, which is caused, among other things, by the increase in the share of remote work and the COVID-19 pandemic. Consequently, this is forcing owners to change the use of buildings from office to residential. This article analyses the possibilities of changing the function of an office building to a multi-family residential building. For both functional solutions, a comparative energy analysis was carried out, taking into account different work schedules and the requirements for new buildings with zero energy demand. The analyses have shown that changing the form of use of an office building to a multi-family building without significant financial and technical costs is possible. On the other hand, the reverse change of the form of use is much more difficult and, in many cases, practically impossible. Due to the fact that many offices are now multinational corporations, this issue is global.
