Definition of Main System Boundaries and Performance Figures for Reporting on SHP Systems

Model Predictive Control for Building Automation

“…Other common seasonal performance figures, such as the Seasonal Performance Factor (SPF+) define the overall energy efficiency of the system as the quotient of overall useful energy output and the overall driving final energy input (Malenkovic et al, 2013) without distinction between imported and locally produced electrical energy.…”

Monitoring data analysis on technical issues & on performances

“…Therefore, an evaluation tools, named T53E 4 -Tool (Task 53 Energy-Ecology-Economy-Evaluation-Tool), was developed within the SHC Task 53 (Neyer et al, 2016) for assessing solar cooling and heating systems on technical and economic level based on monthly energy balances. The tool is based on prior work of IEA SHC Task 38 (Napolitano et al, 2010;Fedrizzi et al, 2012), IEA SHC Task 44 ( (Malenkovic et al, 2013) and IEA SHC Task 48 (Neyer et al, 2015).…”

Adapted Monitoring Procedure for the thermal side of New Generation Solar Heating & Cooling Systems

“…In Task 48 Subtask C4 the most important measurement points and the way to collect the measurement data for demo projects in the solar cooling framework have been defined or updated from previous works and are very precisely described in the Final report "Measurement and Verification Procedures" (Deliverable M-C4. 3 Task IEA SHC 48) [1] ., Even if the quantity of considered energy flows in Task 53 is significantly enlarged, the practical procedure is valid for a central part of the plants considered in Task 53, and the most important specific references will be given in the following chapters. New issues due to the superseded norm EN 1434-1 (heat meters) are considered.…”
