Energy Resources Consumption Minimization in Housing Construction

Abstract

The article deals with the energy savings analysis during operation of buildings, provides the heat balance of residential premises, considers options for energy-efficient solutions for hot water supply systems in buildings. As technical facilities that allow the use of secondary heat sources and solar energy, there are also considered the systems with heat recovery of "gray" wastewater, heat pumps, solar collectors and photoelectric converters.

Solar energy for self-contained power supply

“…The former includes solar power plants as a part of the grid or centralized system of the existing modern electric power industry, including transportation and distribution. In this case, at solar power plants even with a small relative density (capacity) among the traditional generating capacitance, no significant batteries are required for power fluctuations are damped by the grid [7,8].…”

Numerical analysis and simulation of the heat recovery from wastewater using heat exchanger

“…Wastewater from all sources except toilets, enters the sewage system at a relatively high temperature and with an exergy content [1,2]. Clearly, the heat content of wastewater is a major loss source, so it must be addressed as a solution to reduce energy consumption in both residential and commercial buildings [3]. The potential for domestic wastewater recovery is quite high, approximately 3.5 kWh of energy / person / day, which could be capitalized and used directly in several areas.…”
