The TU Delft Building 28 is one of the living labs within the Brains 4 Building project, funded by the Dutch Ministry of Economic Affairs & Climate. The living labs will be used for small-scale testing and prototyping algorithms and methods to reduce energy consumption, increase comfort, respond flexibly to user behaviour and local energy supply and demand, and save on installation maintenance costs. After successful small-scale testing, other buildings will serve as use cases and validation cases for demonstrating replication and upscaling.
TU Delft Building 28 is a medium size (10.787 m2) office (88% of floor area), education (8% of floor area) and low-tech lab (4% of floor area) at the TU Delft campus. The building was built in 2002 and fully renovated in 2018 to an energy label A. The energy systems include two high-efficiency natural gas-fired boilers.
