IMPROVING ENERGY EFFICIENCY OF PANEL HEATING SYSTEMS USING GSHP AND PV PANELS

Abstract

In Serbia is increasingly using of panel heating systems. Although it is well known that these systems can operate at much lower temperature heat source, 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 using the GHSP and PV panels in panel heating systems. The PV panels are used for supplying of GHSP with electricity. The analysed house is located in Kragujevac, Serbia. Also, this research is the 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.
