Feasibility studies of solar heating systems fot the production of sanitary hot water (SHW) in the tourist industry

Objective

The aim of the project is to provide the ICAEN and the ADEME with the structure necessary to carry out a significant number of feasibility studies for solar heating systems for the production of sanitary hot water in tourist establishments, principally hotels and camp-sites. The objective is to elaborate a methodology and prove it in a umber of case studies: 50 in Catalonia and 30 in the South of France. The specific objective are as follow:
- to create an offer of solar thermal energy systems for hotels which can be compared to those of conventional energy sources
- to gauge the degree of interest of the tourist industry in such technologies
- to make solar thermal energy more accessible to the hotel industry
- to facilitate access on the part of solar energy equipment and installation companies to the collective services of tourist establishments

The main actions to be carried out are:
- Development of a strategy to select the tourist establishments in each region
- Creation of a standard model for the feasibility studies, a methodology that will be accepeted and adopted by all the involved parties. All the sites will be studied under this standard model
- Definition and implementation of the structure necessary to carry out a significant number of feasibility studies
- Development of the first 25 stuides in Catalonia and 15 in France
- Revision and improvement of the methodology and the implemented structure
- Development of the rest of studies in Catalonia anf France
- General balance of the project: conclusions and observations
