Increasing ambition for renewable heating and cooling: Is the current energy modelling enough?
EGEC has released a policy paper assessing the current European Commission’s energy modelling for heating and cooling, used to generate forecasts that serve as basis for policy proposals and policy making. The resulting analysis shows a lack of robustness in the Commission’s forecasts for the heating and cooling sector, which translates in a lack of ambition, in the initial ...

Development of Site-wide Energy Strategies
Pinch Analysis has been applied to individual processes routinely since the early 1980s. The composite curves of the process define the minimum heating and cooling demands while the grand composite curve further illustrates how the heating and cooling is best applied, utility level by utility level. One of the many specific benefits of this technique is therefore to identify the most appropriate ...

Heating and Cooling in the upcoming EU Renewables Directive
It is crucial that the future EU Renewables Directive includes effective measures to promote renewable heating and cooling (RES-H). To reach the 20% target by 2020, almost half of the growth in renewables production has to come from RES-H alone. Heating is a primary human need. Supply shortage recently became a credible scenario. While reducing this risk, RES-H can achieve substantial cost ...

Rational use and management of geothermal energy resources
This article identifies and explains several attributes of geothermal energy. High exergetic efficiency due to a close temperature tie between geothermal energy and district heating and cooling was noted. Parameters governing the rational use and management of geothermal energy systems with special emphasis on integrated-cascaded district energy systems were formulated and explained with two case ...

Thermodynamic modelling and performance of variable-temperature heat reservoir absorption refrigeration cycle
An irreversible variable-temperature heat reservoir four-temperature-level absorption refrigeration cycle model is established in this paper. The considered losses include heat resistances between heat reservoirs and working fluid, internal irreversibilities due to internal dissipation of the working fluid, and the heat leakages between the heat reservoirs and the surroundings. The general ...

Dealing with uncertainty in sustainable innovation: mainstreaming and substitution
In this paper, innovation is studied as a set of activities that seeks to deal with uncertainty. It is argued that the very idea of innovation contains the assumption that the future is, in principle, open to change. Moreover, since innovations compete with other innovations and with existing solutions as well, the outcome of innovative activities has to remain uncertain. Innovation theories, in ...

University Campus – Cafeteria, Heilbronn, Germany - Case study
A green hill lies between the central campus square and the tall lecture halls. It is divided diagonally and has a terrace for outdoor dining. A curved staircase leads down to the cafeteria, which is also connected to the assembly hall of the university via a tunnel. The actual common visitors' area is in the basement, but nevertheless receives so much daylight that artificial lighting is not ...

Heating Electrification: Policies to Drive Ground-Source Heat Pump Adoption
Executive Summary Ground-source heat pumps (GSHPs) are typically the most efficient form of heating and cooling for buildings. For every unit of electricity a GSHP system consumes, it produces roughly 3-4 units of equivalent heat (or cooling), thanks to the solar energy naturally stored underground. Because of these efficiencies, GSHPs can provide significant cost savings in the effort to ...

Energy sustainable development through energy efficient heating devices and buildings
Energy devices and buildings are sustainable if, when they operate, they use sustainable (renewable and refuse) energy and generate nega-energy. This paper covers three research examples of this type of sustainability: (1) use of air-to-earth heat exchangers, (2) computer control of heating and cooling of the building (via heat pumps and heat-recovery devices), and (3) design control of energy ...

Thermodynamic assessment of an integrated system for cogeneration and district heating and cooling
A thermodynamic assessment is reported of a proposed system, for which advanced engineering designs have been developed for integrating cogeneration with district heating and cooling. The system was developed by Edmonton Power for the city of Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. Energy and exergy analyses are used to attain a more complete thermodynamic understanding. The results provide a better ...

Choosing the Right Heat Exchanger for Food Processing
All but the most basic heat exchangers are created to a bespoke brief, designed to take into account the material/s being heated or cooled, the heating or cooling medium, the amount of product being processed, product velocity, risk of fouling and a host of other factors. However, over the years some standard design types have emerged (as well as more specific types) and understanding the ...

Thermodynamic modelling of a water-to-water heat pump using propane as refrigerant
The aim of this paper is to develop a thermodynamic model for a water-to-water heat pump using propane as refrigerant. This model is based on the thermodynamic principals and heat transfer fundamental laws. The performances of the heat pump have been looked at as function of the water temperatures at the entry of the evaporator and the condenser. The results show that the cooling and heating COP ...
