Modelling building integrated heating and cooling systems
The purpose of the work which is presented in this thesis is to develop and investigate simulation models for building integrated heating and cooling systems. These models can be used to find the thermal properties of building integrated systems and their influence on the thermal indoor climate and energy consumption in the building. A number of simulation models are developed with different level of detail. The simple models can be used for early estimates in the design phase of a building of the influence of using building integrated heating and cooling systems in buildings, while the models with more details are especially suited for product development and research purposes. In this thesis two types of building integrated heating and cooling systems are presented and investigated. The first is floor heating, which is the most often used type of heating system in Danish single-family houses. The second is thermo active components – which is a relatively new technology. Thermo active components represents a way of cooling offices by using embedded pipes in the thermal mass of the building – typically in the form of concrete – where cool water is circulated to remove the heat from the concrete and consequently cool the offices in the building. Finally, as an extension to the investigation on floor heating systems, a third type of building integrated system has been included, as an investigation of thermal energy storage of solar energy in a slab-on-grade floor of a single-family house. Initially, after defining the scientific approach and purpose of the work, a literature evaluation and state of the art review has been completed to establish the basis for the work. The main element in this project is the development and implementation of simulation models of building integrated heating and cooling systems. For this purpose, two simulation models have been developed; one for floor heating, called FHSim, and one for thermo active components, called TASim. The models are both dynamical simulation models of a room ...
