Use of solar energy for building microclimate requirements with arranging the facade heating system

摘要

Solar energy is an alternative source of renewable energy. The simplest way to install a passive solar heating system is possible for existing buildings. Facade heating is one of the passive ways of solar heating of buildings. The experiment was carried out in a seven floors building (VGTU, Sauletekio av. 11) in February 2002. The total space of the building is 7036.5 m{sup}2, the heating space of the building is 7036.5 m{sup}2. Orientation of the windows is south and north, A facade heating system was installed there. South and north facades have independent heating systems. During the heating period these systems work according to indoor and outdoor temperatures. Heat consumption and indoor-outdoor air temperatures were fixed during all months. Computer was fixing the test data each 90 minutes. The data were treated with the "Tinyhost" program.
