Abstract :

[en] In the following years, the building sector will have to considerably reduce its final energy demand and emissions by adopting new technologies. This paper introduces two innovative technologies capable of reducing the final energy demand of residential buildings: A Heat Pump/Organic Rankine Cycle system coupled to solar thermal collectors (HP/ORC-COL), and a Heat Pump coupled with Photovoltaic panels (HP-PV). The HP/ORC-COL system alternates between generating either heat or electricity, whereas the HP-PV system produces them separately. The goal is to compare both systems through their Seasonal Performance Factor (SPF), equivalent emissions, operational cost, and Net Zero Energy Building (NZEB) potential. Additionally, the impact on the heating demand of retrofitting existing buildings with the Passivhaus Standard is studied. The heating, domestic hot water, and electricity demands are determined by considering the climate conditions of three polluted Chilean cities: Santiago, Concepción, and Temuco. The proposed systems are evaluated through numerical models developed in Python and validated with data from manufacturer catalogues. The validation of the models allows to enhance the result accuracy of the integrated overall model by closely aligning outputs with real conditions, and therefore increases the reliability of the prediction on the potential of the building to reach net zero energy. Results show that applying the Passivhaus standard allows to reduce heating requirements by up to 30% in all cities. The SPF and electricity production of the HP-PV system is better than the HP/ORC-COL, reaching a NZEB potential of 76.3% in Santiago, 66.6% in Concepción and 60.4% in Temuco. The average cost reduction of the HP/ORC-COL system compared to oil, natural gas, and wood pellet boilers is 82.7%, 90.4%, and 72.3%, whereas for the HP-PV system is 93.3%, 96.3%, and 89.2% respectively. On the CO2 emissions, the HP/ORC-COL system presents an average reduction of 63.6% and 59.7% compared to an oil and natural gas boiler, while the HP-PV system has an average reduction of 72.5% and 69.5% respectively.
