General information
- Short Summary
- A Ukrainian university offers a system of alternative heating and energy supply for buildings based on the conversion and storage of solar energy. The system due to the intelligent component provides not only an insulating function, but also allows to use of the energy of solar radiation, to accumulate and recover heat and, thus, reduce the consumption of organic energy sources. The university is looking for partners for further development and certification of the system.
- Full Description
-
According to the proposal of the DIRECTIVE OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL on the energy performance of buildings (December 2021, document 52021PC0802) zero-emission buildings (ZEB) should apply to all new buildings as of 1 January 2030, and to all new buildings occupied or owned by public authorities as of 1 January 2027.
It is known that the simple thickness increase of structures' passive thermal insulation after a certain value no longer leads to its efficiency increase.
The Ukrainian university offers a smart building insulation system (the functioning principle is illustrated in Fig.1, the system assumes winter/summer operating modes) that will make it possible to practically eliminate heat losses, thus implementing the concept of net zero energy building. The system of alternative heating and energy supply of buildings is based on the conversion and storage of solar energy that transforms roofs and walls into large-area smart solar systems.
The system can use large-capacity thermal accumulators, heat pumps (a variant of the design of the unit is illustrated in Fig.2) and intelligent technologies for automatic monitoring and control. At the same time, the heat losses of buildings, the consumption of energy sources, and the emission of greenhouse gases are significantly reduced.
The system can provide simultaneous transformation, generation, as well as redistribution and accumulation of energy.
Depending on the characteristics of specific operating conditions, several design options for energy-active modules can be proposed:
- with rotary heat-absorbing elements;
- structures that prevent overheating;
- with isolated sections;
- with an additional air layer.
The University is looking for partners for further development and certification of the system via a research and development cooperation agreement. - Advantages and Innovations
- Unlike traditional "passive insulation", which doesn`t allow for achieving current energy efficiency requirements, the proposal allows solving the problem of creating net zero energy building by improving energy efficiency, using renewable energy sources, and improving the comfort of buildings.
