In connection with the entry into force of Decree No. 264/2020 Coll., On the energy performance of buildings, the method of assessing the energy performance of new buildings is changing. The article on the case study of a family house presents an approach to the concept of technical systems of new family houses from the point of view of current and future requirements (from 1. 1. 2022) for the energy performance of buildings.
The author points out the potential for savings in heating, etc. in public buildings and the potential dangers arising from inappropriately chosen scenarios. The risk factor is in particular the “lock-in effect”, which causes the failure to use all the possibilities to reduce the energy consumption that exists.
The subject of the research is a ventilation unit with a heat pump providing vacuum ventilation in a specific family house. The year-round energy balance of the operation was prepared from the obtained parameters. For a total heat loss of 5 kW, the seasonal heating factor SPF of the entire system was evaluated at the level of 2.5.
The article shows part of the evaluation of the energy performance of a large building according to CSN EN 15316-2: 2018 and especially how the advantage of different methods of heating changes with the height of the building. It also includes a more detailed specification of some of the descriptions in the standard of ambiguous inputs.
The disadvantage of the family one-storey bungalow is the larger built-up area and the cooled envelope and thus higher specific heat consumption for heating compared to a compact two-storey house. The author offers a comparison of variants of bungalow heating by Total cost of ownership (TCO) method in Slovak conditions.
Achieving the criteria set for effectively district heating will be a precondition for the development of central heat supply in the coming period. Heating companies are therefore looking for suitable alternative solutions. In this paper it is the view of the designer on a concrete example of the combination of the use of geothermal water and CHP.
Is it advantageous to apply zone regulation in individual rooms, especially in family houses? The paper describes results of analysis of the effect of zone heating in two different types of heat transfer on the internal operating temperature in the analyzed zones, which have a common partition structure.
Due to long term cooling of the ice ring it may happen that subsoil was affected, bulged and consequently nonreturnable destroyed in case the structure was built on high-risk soil. Sub-soil heating system was tended to be prevention of undercooling and step-by-step freezing of subsoil. Purpose of the paper is evaluation of heat flow in the structure depending on heating fluid temperature and thermal insulation thickness.
Methods and instrumentation for injection quality measurement in heat pump boreholes including measurement of groundwater flow through the borehole outside the partly grouted borehole exchanger tubes have been developed in the Czech Republic. A Semtex charge has been developed for the rock massive repair, which reliably disconnects the ground exchanger tubes without serious impacts on the surrounding rock environment and buildings. The resulting hole can then be used for re-grouting, thus preventing undesirable vertical water flow through the borehole.
The article acquaints readers with the situation on the European and world market for hybrid photovoltaic-thermal (FVT) collectors. This year, FVT collectors first appeared in the world statistics of solar thermal systems as a significant part of the market. However, their installations are still rare in the Czech Republic.
This article aims to clarify especially for the general public, the principle of the chimney draft and simultaneously explain its importance to assess the functioning of the flue path. It demonstrates that the measure can not replace a chimney control, or clearly describe its functionality, but it is just one of the many immediate operational parameters.
