THE IMPACT OF PRIMARY ENERGY COEFFICIENT ON LOW-TEMPERATURE PANEL HEATING SYSTEMS

Abstract

Serbia is increasingly using panel heating systems. Although it is well known that these systems can operate at much lower temperature heat sources, due to the high investment customers are opting for gas or electricity as a heat source in these systems. The aim of this study is to demonstrate the actual savings of using GSHP and PV panels in panel heating systems. The analyzed house is located in Kragujevac, Serbia. Also, this research is part of the project "Development of a net-zero-energy house". The operation of these panels is simulated by software EnergyPlus that is product of Lawrence Berkley Laboratory in USA.
