“…A solar installation comprising 10.6 m 2 evacuated tube solar array 300l Domestic Hot Water (DHW) tank, 23 m 3 aqueous Seasonal Thermal Energy Store (STES) and combined underfloor and Heat Recovery and Ventilation (HRV) space heating system was installed and has been monitored since June 2009. The installation has been described previously [18] along with the maximum theoretical solar fraction [22] and a high level carbon analysis of the installation [23].…”

EU targets require nearly zero energy buildings by 2020. However few reviews exist of how this has been achieved in practise in individual residential buildings. This paper presents a carbon analysis of a real installation based on the recorded performance of a low-energy house in combination with a solar DHW and space heating system which incorporates a seasonal thermal energy store. Key findings for the project are presented including the recorded DHW and space heating demand, the performance of the solar system including the Seasonal Thermal Energy Store (STES) and the results of an embedded carbon and operational carbon analysis of the heating system. The life cycle energy consumption and life cycle carbon analysis in addition to net energy ratios, are calculated for five heating system scenarios. provides an example of how a low-energy building (built in 2006), has achieved nearly zero energy 13 Net Energy analysis of a Solar Combi System with Seasonalheating through the addition of a solar domestic hot water and space heating system ("combi 14 system") with a Seasonal Thermal Energy Store (STES). The paper also presents a cumulative life 15 cycle energy and cumulative life cycle carbon analysis for the installation based on the recorded 16 DHW and space heating demand in addition to energy payback periods and net energy ratios. In 17 addition, the carbon and energy analysis is carried out for four other heating system scenarios 18 including hybrid solar thermal/PV systems in order to obtain the optimal system from a carbon 19 efficiency perspective. 20

“…In addition, while papers have focused on the analysis of STES systems in combination with low energy houses through the use of dynamic building simulation software [11][12][13][14], a number of which also undertook financial analysis, few examples exist of a financial analysis based on recorded costs and monitored performance of an installation. The approach in Ref.…”

Abstract:The financial viability of a solar STES (seasonal thermal energy store) installed in a mixed commercial and residential multiunit development of low-energy buildings located in Lysekil, Sweden, a maritime Scandinavian Climate has been investigated. Using recorded figures for the installation costs and performance, a financial life cycle analysis has been undertaken to determine the cost effectiveness of the system. The time value of money is considered and an LCC (life cycle cost) analysis undertaken to identify the cost-effectiveness of the solution. It shows that while a direct heating and hot water system incorporating STES can be economically viable in a Swedish maritime climate in the long term, assistance such as that provided by government incentives is required to assist with the high capital cost of the initial investment.

“…In 2009, a 23 m3 seasonal storage water tank was added to the site to provide space heating. The tank was a pre-cast concrete tank with an elliptical cross-section and approximate exterior dimensions of 3 m by 4.5 m by 2.5 m [77]. The tank was completely buried with 20 cm of polyurethane spray and 40 cm of expanded polystyrene (EPS) on the vertical walls.…”
