4. OTHER INFORMATION OF RELEVANCE TO THE ASSIGNMENT

As an engineer, Mr Sorensen is currently heavily involved in the full project cycle for ESCO projects. That includes all steps from building screening hundreds of buildings (energy auditing and developing energy saving scenarios), projecting, tendering, construction and operation and management of the building (energy management).

His key areas of responsibility are renewable technologies (PV, solar heat and ground heat), heat and water, ventilations, building automatics, monitoring of automation and optimizing building operation. It is part of his responsibility to build and deliver training and building operation and maintenance staff, where he successfully has developed and delivered training to an extensive array of  building staff.

In Vallensbaek, buildings were analyzed at different levels: Energy screening, indoor climate evaluation and the users daily behavior. These three factors were essential for to the on-going energy audits and later to the retrofitting.

Al municipality buildings in Vallensbaek were analyzed by Mr. Sorensen and his team regarding the building envelope, HVAC equipment, lighting etc. to identify the energy consumption. Buildings and machinery with energy saving potentialand economical feasibility.

Along with the retrofitting, the building equipment is often renewed or even replaced with other energy saving technologies. Energy meters were placed on chosen spots, so it was possible to survey the energy consumption for the buildings in total and all the way down to machinery or building sections. It was important to extend the knowledge of the site staff in handling their new equipment. They needed to be able to perform the daily maintenance and Mr. Sorensen taught them how to use building automation systems and energy management programs to survey the energy consumption, thereby pinpointing and interpreting inappropriate fluctuations compared to a normal day.

From his time at Grontji, Mr Sorensen is particularly well versed in the use of building simulation programmes used in connection with energy audits.
