Objective
To evaluate the conventional energy savings, that may be realised following the large scale implementation of active and passive solar systems in well insulated buildings. This project concerns low cost housing; its results will show how the payback period of 20 years can be reduced in the future. Expected conventional energy savings: 105 tep.
The importance of this project is found in the large scale application of solar energy principles. The innovation lies in the optimal combination of
- active solar collectors;
- heat storage walls;
- building insulation.
This integrated design approach should give, in comparison to similar buildings :
29% energy savings from insulation
11% from passive solar energy systems
19% from active solar energy systems
37% from auxiliary heating
4% savings from heating optimization
The storage or mass walls will be placed on three apartment buildings and represent a total area of 650 m2. The auxiliary heating system itself will be optimised by the use of an economiser; thermostats on all radiators which themselves will be of low capacity design leading to improved control of heat output. The flat plate collectors will be used to supply 75% of the heat required for DHW i.e. 14.5 TOE per year or over 25 M Lire savings.
