Summary:

Issues relating to the reduction of CO₂ emissions and energyconsumption are currently more important than ever before. In theconstruction engineering and automotive sectors research anddevelopment efforts are focused closely on efficient buildings andautomobiles. The designated target is a reduction in greenhouse gasemissions and overall energy demand.However, almost all approaches focus solely on either"buildings" or "mobility." By considering bothaspects as a single holistic system, further energy savingpotential arises due to synergetic effects. The goal of currentresearch projects relating to Smart Homes and Vehicle to Building(V2B) is to smooth the electrical load profile on a household levelrather than to reduce the individual-related total energyconsumption and thereby the CO₂ emissions.In contrast to this, the present paper aims to suggestpossibilities and synergetic effects indicating how a holisticconsideration of both elements, "buildings" and"mobility," can contribute in reducing individual-relatedtotal energy consumption. A system is presented which consists of aplug-in vehicle and a residential building. The holistic systemincludes thermal and electrical energy sources, storage units,sinks, connections to a public power grid and a gas distributionsystem. The system components are in part mobile and in partstationary units. A combined heat and power (CHP) unit enables theconversion of energy in the form of natural gas into thermal andelectrical energy to supply both the building and the vehicle. Byintelligent use of the system components, the total energyconsumption can be minimized while the demand for thermal andelectrical energy as well as basic needs for mobility will becovered. Beyond that the system allows charging of the vehicle withan improved system-internal electricity mix in comparison to themix supported by the utility
