Technologies
Hybrid facilities for nearly zero energy buildings
For achieving the objectives:
Goals:
7. Affordable and clean energy, 11. Sustainable cities and communities
Description
ENEA provides its know-how to design and develop hybrid PV heating and cooling systems to be integrated to a heat pump with a PV facility and a thermal and electric storage system. Thanks to RES-powered plant architectures increasing self-consumption, self-sufficient energy production values can be achieved in Nearly Zero Energy Buildings (NZEB).
Increasing energy self-production makes this technology particularly suitable to developing countries since it helps them to be ever less depending on other countries’ energy supply.
Benefits and advantages:
- Higher PV self-consumption up to over 70% thanks to integrated power storage systems;
- Higher energy self-sufficiency for heating or cooling buildings up to 100% thanks to the integration of properly dimensioned thermal storage systems and logical regulation specifications of the power absorbed by the heat pump;
- lower CO2 and M10 emissions.
ENEA Service:
- Technology transfer
- Consulting
- Training and guidelines
