The <str<strong>on</strong>g>12th</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>Internati<strong>on</strong>al</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>Symposium</str<strong>on</strong>g> <strong>on</strong> <strong>District</strong> <strong>Heating</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Cooling</strong>,September 5 th to September 7 th , 2010, Tallinn, Est<strong>on</strong>iaMETHODDefiniti<strong>on</strong> of building <strong>and</strong> system build upIn this exemplified case, the main chosen building is anapartment building. This building category seems to bethe most representative c<strong>on</strong>cerning heat use am<strong>on</strong>gthe building categories defined in the EPBD [1].In the shown example, the size of the building ischosen to be 1000 m² floor area since this size shouldbe rather representative <strong>and</strong> be a good compromisebetween the previous <strong>and</strong> the proposed new recast ofthe EPBD. [2]A building of these features corresp<strong>on</strong>ds to a threestoreys squared building with four flats of about 80 m²per storey.In this setting, the total heating system efficiency in thebuilding is built up based <strong>on</strong> the differentiati<strong>on</strong> betweenthe three main parts of the system. It must be definedwhere the substati<strong>on</strong> is located in the building, i.e.where the heat is exchanged from the distributi<strong>on</strong>network – DH stage in Figure 2. The heat supply to theheating system within the building from the districtheating system is assumed to be provided by two heatexchangers <strong>and</strong> hot water storage defined as thebuilding substati<strong>on</strong> part of the system.Finally; <strong>on</strong>ce distributed, the heat is emitted accordingto the dem<strong>and</strong>. For the present case, the heat isdelivered either by radiators (80/60 ˚C) in the basecase, floor heating (35/28 ˚C), or domestic hot water at60 ˚C. Figure 2 gives a further visual explanati<strong>on</strong>. Forthe present paper, the supply of heat is just d<strong>on</strong>e by ahydr<strong>on</strong>ic heating system. The possible heat loss fromthe distributed air is neglected since the temperature ofthe air is assumed to be slightly lower than thetemperatures in the rooms.Categories of buildingThe presented analysis shows results for five kinds ofbuildings described in the EPBD which are: singlefamily house <strong>and</strong> apartment block, office buildings,hotel <strong>and</strong> restaurants, educati<strong>on</strong>al buildings <strong>and</strong>hospital buildings. When it comes to heat c<strong>on</strong>sumpti<strong>on</strong>for these buildings, the measurements performed inLinda Pedersen‘s PhD thesis [3] show that thec<strong>on</strong>sumpti<strong>on</strong> of the apartment buildings is about116 kWh/m², while hospitals use 150 <strong>and</strong> officebuildings use 100 kWh/m². These measured valuesinclude the domestic hot water (DHW) <strong>and</strong> the spaceheating (SH) c<strong>on</strong>sumpti<strong>on</strong>.The calculated efficiency for the system will depend <strong>on</strong>the size of the building as well. The present apartmentbuilding shows a higher efficiency value than a singlefamily house with the same c<strong>on</strong>sumpti<strong>on</strong>. This is due tohigher relative losses in the substati<strong>on</strong>.Climate influenceThe calculati<strong>on</strong>s in the present paper are based <strong>on</strong> aclimate like in Oslo, Norway. This climate is defined tohave approximately 5100 degree days with 20 ˚C asthe internal reference temperature <strong>and</strong> an externaldesign temperature of -20 ˚C [8].Ventilati<strong>on</strong>air+●•2010/05/RU+ +DHCWIn practice, the outdoor climate can vary widely fromplace to place. Owing to this, the outdoor climateaffects not <strong>on</strong>ly the heat c<strong>on</strong>sumpti<strong>on</strong> but also therelative losses. In general the relative losses areincreasing with an increased ratio between the degreedays <strong>and</strong> ΔT between the dimensi<strong>on</strong>ing internal <strong>and</strong>external temperature.Hot tapwaterdistrib.Roomheatingdistrib.Substati<strong>on</strong>systemborderFigure 2 Sketch of the system elements for producti<strong>on</strong>,distributi<strong>on</strong> <strong>and</strong> c<strong>on</strong>diti<strong>on</strong>ing of the roomsFrom the substati<strong>on</strong>, the hot water is distributed eitherfor air <strong>and</strong> space heating or as domestic hot water.Both uses are provided by their own heat exchanger<strong>and</strong> the necessary pipelines will now be referred to asdistributi<strong>on</strong> pipelines.239The average outside temperature affects the heatc<strong>on</strong>sumpti<strong>on</strong> <strong>and</strong> the temperature variati<strong>on</strong>s affect theregulati<strong>on</strong> of the heat emitters. This means that duringcold periods, the temperature of the supply water tendsto be increased imposing an increase in the lossesrelated to the transport of water with highertemperatures. The design temperature for the radiatorsin the base case in this paper is 80/60, <strong>and</strong> in warmerperiods, this temperature is decreased in order toreduce losses <strong>and</strong> adapt the supply temperature to theoutside temperature. This affects the efficiencies in apositive way.
The <str<strong>on</strong>g>12th</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>Internati<strong>on</strong>al</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>Symposium</str<strong>on</strong>g> <strong>on</strong> <strong>District</strong> <strong>Heating</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Cooling</strong>,September 5 th to September 7 th , 2010, Tallinn, Est<strong>on</strong>iaFinally, the outdoor climate affects the length of theheating seas<strong>on</strong>. Usually, the lower the average outsidetemperature, the l<strong>on</strong>ger the heating seas<strong>on</strong>. Thishowever, does not affect the DHW since this is more orless steady all the year al<strong>on</strong>g.Positi<strong>on</strong>ing of substati<strong>on</strong>Figure 2 shows the positi<strong>on</strong>ing of the substati<strong>on</strong>. Theheat is delivered from the district heating pipelinesthrough two separate heat exchangers, <strong>on</strong>e for heatingthe water in the storage tank for DHW by a circulatingloop, <strong>and</strong> the other for the air heating <strong>and</strong> spaceheating system. The main reas<strong>on</strong> for having two heatexchangers is due to the different needs of temperaturelevels. In the calculati<strong>on</strong>s dealing with the producti<strong>on</strong>,the used heat dem<strong>and</strong> used is the total dem<strong>and</strong>, whilefor the distributi<strong>on</strong> the heat is divided into heatdistributi<strong>on</strong> for SH <strong>and</strong> for DHW.In order to calculate losses related to the storage tank,it is assumed that the tank is of a comm<strong>on</strong> type with acomm<strong>on</strong> value for the st<strong>and</strong> by heat loss. The systemdesign c<strong>on</strong>sists of the coupling in series of 289 litresstorage tanks. There are c<strong>on</strong>sidered two tanks for theapartment building of 1000 m 2 but <strong>on</strong>e more tank if thecase is dealing with hospitals, educati<strong>on</strong>al <strong>and</strong> hotelbuildings. For other sizes the number of tanks isadjusted according to the dem<strong>and</strong>.temperature is here c<strong>on</strong>stantly at the designed point of60 o C.When dealing with distributi<strong>on</strong> of SH, the losses arec<strong>on</strong>sidered dependent <strong>on</strong> the kind of insulati<strong>on</strong> material<strong>and</strong> the ambient <strong>and</strong> the mean water temperature inthe supply <strong>and</strong> return pipes.The heat emissi<strong>on</strong> to the room from the DHW draw-offtap discharge cocks is c<strong>on</strong>sidered to be negligible incomparis<strong>on</strong> to the total heat c<strong>on</strong>sumpti<strong>on</strong>.Dealing with space heating a distincti<strong>on</strong> is d<strong>on</strong>e withrespect to the kind of emissi<strong>on</strong>. Two major groups arec<strong>on</strong>sidered: the emissi<strong>on</strong> by floor heating <strong>and</strong> byradiators. The first has a low temperature distributi<strong>on</strong> of35/28 ˚C. As for the radiator system, the analyzed basecase is 80/60 ˚C for supply/return design values.Besides the temperature level, the placing in the roomaffects the stratificati<strong>on</strong> efficiency <strong>and</strong> the loss throughthe outside wall. Furthermore, another point related tothe temperature is the regulati<strong>on</strong> of the roomtemperature, which in our case, is assumed to be aPI-regulator, even if in a lot of apartments thisregulati<strong>on</strong> is quite often d<strong>on</strong>e by <strong>on</strong>/off regulati<strong>on</strong>.RESULTSProducti<strong>on</strong> efficiencyEfficiencies to be studiedFor the present paper, as written previously, thesystem is divided in three smaller system parts whichare independent. For every comp<strong>on</strong>ent, the efficiencyis calculated following different st<strong>and</strong>ards: Producti<strong>on</strong>; according to EN 15316-4-5:2007[4]Distributi<strong>on</strong>; according to EN 15316-2-3:2007 <strong>and</strong>EN 15316-3-2:2007[5] Room emissi<strong>on</strong>; according to EN 15316-2-1:2007[6]The efficiency of the producti<strong>on</strong> includes the lossesdepending <strong>on</strong> the thickness of the insulati<strong>on</strong> material,the insulati<strong>on</strong> material itself, the storage tank, thecomplete local piping system of the substati<strong>on</strong> system<strong>and</strong> the temperature difference between the two media<strong>and</strong> the ambient. It takes into account the thermal lossof the total substati<strong>on</strong>. For this case the substati<strong>on</strong> isc<strong>on</strong>sidered to be in an unheated part <strong>and</strong> therefore thelosses are c<strong>on</strong>sidered as unrecoverable.In case of the distributi<strong>on</strong>, the efficiency depends <strong>on</strong>the use of the heated water. In case of being a part of aDHW system; the energy used for heating the waterwhich is not drawn-off <strong>and</strong> which slowly gets cold in thepipelines, has to be c<strong>on</strong>sidered as loss. Moreover, heatis used to heat up the pipes <strong>and</strong> fittings. Since thebuilding is large enough to need a circulati<strong>on</strong> loop thisloop is c<strong>on</strong>sidered to be a source of loss? The water240The producti<strong>on</strong> efficiency is shown in Figure 3. By usingthe losses <strong>on</strong> the heat dem<strong>and</strong> <strong>and</strong> the temperaturedifference as basis for calculati<strong>on</strong>, the values inTable 1 are obtained.System efficiencyProducti<strong>on</strong> efficiencies for the different types of buildings according to theEN 15316-4-5 :2007 (Oslo climate) with a distributi<strong>on</strong> temperature 80/600,9900,9800,9700,9600,9500 250 500 750 1000 1250 1500 1750 2000 2250Building floor area [m 2 ]Apartment blockOffice buildingHotel <strong>and</strong> restaurantbuildingEducati<strong>on</strong>al buildingHospital buildingSingle familyFigure 3 Producti<strong>on</strong> distributi<strong>on</strong> of the 80/60 ˚C districtheating for different buildingsAs Figure 3 shows, the bigger the building, the higherthe efficiency. This effect is due to the reducti<strong>on</strong> of therelative losses when the size of the substati<strong>on</strong> (kW)increases. The curve profile is decreased slightly from2000 m 2 <strong>and</strong> downwards, <strong>and</strong> then decreasing rapidlyfrom about 1000 m 2 down to 500 m 2 .
