An analysis of solar assisted ground source heat pumps in cold climates

Assessment of Energetic, Economic and Environmental Performance of Ground-Coupled Heat Pumps

“…[13][14][15][16]. Studies on GCHPs applications in European [17][18][19][20][21], American [22,23] and Asian climates [24,25] have been performed, in single residential or office building cases. Analyses of economic feasibility and environmental benefits for residential buildings were carried out by Lu et al [26], Morrone et al [27], and Chang et al [28].…”

Building energy-consumption status worldwide and the state-of-the-art technologies for zero-energy buildings during the past decade

“…The collected solar heat produces DHW in summer and recharges the borehole during the winter months. Emmi et al [83] investigated the performance of a solar-assisted GSHP in cold climates. Based on their simulations, the energy performance of the heat pump decreased by approximately 10% in cold climates without solar thermal collectors over a ten-year period.…”

Comparison of the energy and environmental impact by integrating a H 2 vehicle and an electric vehicle into a zero-energy building

“…Regarding the building sector, the EU Directive 2010/31/EU [4] regulates that all new buildings built from the beginning of 2021 should be nearly zero-energy buildings (ZEBs), while regarding the transportation sector, the EU Directive 2009/33/EC [5] regulates that the purchase of road transport vehicles should take the energy and environmental impacts into account for promoting and stimulating a market of clean and energy-efficient vehicles. In order to cope with these demanding targets and legislations, the technologies for both the buildings and vehicles are under fast development, with significant amount of academic and industrial resources allocated to the development of low-energy/zero-energy building technologies [6][7][8][9] and new energy vehicle technologies [10][11][12][13]. Meanwhile, the author of this paper have noticed that electricbased new energy vehicles start to influence the design and operation of building energy systems, as these new energy vehicles are more often integrated and recharged with the building energy system of customers' own houses or working places, which can be quite conveniently accessed to than public recharging stations [14][15][16][17].…”
