“…The three imbalance reasons mentioned for energy apply to the exergy balance as well. The results seem reasonable, with QFs of 0.05 for the floor heating demand and 0.15 for the DHW demand, which are in agreement with Schmidt (2009). Further, it is expected that the exergy supply exceeds demand as part of the exergy is destroyed in the heat transfer and energy-conversion processes according to the second law of thermodynamics.…”

“…A comprehensive study of low-exergy systems was carried out by the Annex 49; a task-shared international research project developed within the framework of the International Energy Agency (IEA) programme on Energy Conservation in Buildings and Community Systems (ECBCS). This project aimed at improving, both on a community and building level, the design of energy-use strategies which include the analysis and optimization of exergy demand in heating and cooling systems [19].…”

“…One example is the combustion of high quality fossil fuels to provide for low quality energy applications such as space heating or cooling [18,20,21]. Or expressed in numbers, a typical home boiler burns natural gas at temperatures of over 1000 °C to provide space heating of around 20 °C.…”
