Solar cooling systems have the advantage of coincidence between hours demand and solar radiation availability, they can contribute to reduce energy consumption in buildings. However, high cost thermal facilities with absorption chillers, maintenance issues, legionella risk water (associated necessary tower) limited use these demonstration projects. A simplified Transient System Simulation Tool (TRNSYS) model was developed provide owner facility information he needs for design...
Lightweight construction is experiencing a significant market implementation with sustained growth both for new buildings and retrofitting purposes. Despite the acknowledged advantages of this type construction, their reduced thermal inertia can jeopardize indoor comfort levels while leading to higher energy consumption due high temperature fluctuations overheating rates. The incorporation phase change materials (PCMs) into constructive solutions lightweight promising strategy guarantee...
Monitoring systems are one of the pivotal diagnosis tools for analysis energy performance in buildings. They provide on-site information and support decision making process. Moreover, monitoring allow calculation comfort indicators, despite, large buildings do not a single sensor network. So, with aim integrating multiple to assessment, this paper presents combination thereof into nearly Zero Energy Building order evaluate set Key Performance Indicators. This study demonstrates importance...
Los sistemas de bomba calor (BC) agua-agua está aumentado debido a la extensión los redes distrito y cada vez mayor necesidad penetración renovables en generación térmica, aprovechando geotérmicos para climatización residencial facilitando evolución hacia nuevos escenarios participación e implicación el mercado energético. El presente trabajo muestra resultados obtenidos implementación calibración un modelo estimación del COP una BC empleando ello datos ensayo misma banco ensayos que dispone...
Current ventilation airflow rates imposed by building regulations eventually force HVAC systems to remove high latent loads. Dedicated outdoor air (DOASs) equipped with a desiccant wheel, are an alternative conventional refrigeration equipment for humidity control in buildings. This paper studies the operation of DOAS intended and space load different Spanish climates during summer season. The model developed TRNSYS was validated experimental data using root mean standard error (RMSE)....
(...) En este sentido, habría que integrar los edificios históricos en la vida cotidiana de sociedad y hacer al ciudadano partícipe usuario edificación histórica medida lo posible. Debe acabarse con visión “elitista” lugares históricos, se entienden más como museos o turísticos elementos vivos a dotar del uso debido para desarrolle sus funciones cívicas ellos, través aunándose actualidad historia son testigos sobre asienta precisamente esa sociedad. Así tendrá verdadero sentido concepción...
The climatic conditions of 513 European locations have been studied to evaluate the relations between solar thermal renewable energy produced with different combinations collectors and heat pumps, demands that a determinate building has in heating cooling season. In order representative distribution climate around Europe previous study on results obtained from weather stations done, eliminating those places sited closer than 50 kilometres another station similar values Total Horizontal...
Decarbonization of the building sector is one key challenges to achieve ambitious goal carbon neutrality by 2050, established in European Green Deal. In this sense, current trends focus on promotion onsite renewable energy sources, as well electrification heating and cooling demands coupling approaches through Power-to-heat strategies. This minimizes transportation losses while creating an increased need for storage systems. scenario, Thermal Energy Storage (TES) systems gain importance...
