The new popularity of sustainablility has led to the development of interesting and promising technologies. Energy can now be harvested more efficiently than ever before with systems such as tidal, solar, geothermal, wind, hydroelectric and so on.
Over recent years, Solar and Geothermal systems have been utilized to complement household heating systems. In Europe, these systems have been implemented successfully at different scales; from domestic use to large commercial applications. Solar and geothermal systems typically operate separately to perform some heating or cooling functions that are then fed into a conventional heating system.
The objective of this project was to design a geothermal and solar heating system that could be integrated into an existing household or replace the existing heating systems. The focus of the project was also to develop a tool embedded within RETScreen, to assess a given building’s heating and cooling requirements and facilitate its design. The project included a closed-loop solar system for heating hot water and closed-loop geothermal system for household heating.
