Objective
Improvement of the gas-based heating and cooling offer in the residential buildings from two different point of view : technology solutions, and commercial services.
The collective nature of the generating systems is to be emphasize, that is : a centralized heating and refrigerating configuration that delivers calories (heating and hot water) and frigories simultaneous, both in summer and winter, integrating two different objectives in the same concept.
- the energy efficiency of the collective centralized systems, and
- the comfort degree, control capability and easy management, inherent to the individual schemes.
At the same time, individual billing of the different simple charges will be accomplished, and experience on other kind of services will be obtained.
The implementation of collective natural gas heat pumps systems that are able to generate both heating and cooling, assures both development of an innovative application and a reduction of the atmospheric effluents that would be otherwise originated through the use of other energy forms; The application of new generation of gas heat pumps in the residential buildings conforms the two following leading aspects :
- domestic water demand (taking advantage of engine and exhaust gases heat recovery); and
- modulation capacity in heating/cooling production (to fit high fluctuation of demands in both daily and season (for instance, in holidays) time patterns).
The most relevant points are summerised here :
- a demonstration dwelling is ready in the Spanish development.
- the definition of the monitoring activity (energy follow-up) were completed, and many efforts had done by the Spanish gas utility to develop the different tools to support the monitoring follow-up.
- apart from that, some additional promotions will be promoted in Spain with the same technological solution.
- the Climagas installation will be ready soon in both developments.
The objective of the project is the promotion of demonstration experiences which are to allow the determination of the viability of the solution studied, and the generation of the information needed to implement a competitive product and to introduce its commercial offer in the scope of near future european energy market deregulation.
The implementation of these pilot experiences will be carried out in Spain and France in a residential buildings.
