Systematic renovation of social housing
From the discussion of different possibilities of social housing retrofitting, it is shown in this study that it this cannot be done without an holistic context. The methodical approach of a systematic procedure allowed to combine different dimensions in an interdisciplinary way in order to develop the optimal solution. An optimum is characterised by a […]
PROCESOL II – Solar thermal process heating coupled with heat recovery technologies in industrial applications
The targeted production companies are the ones, which need process heat at a temperature level of 40°C to 90°C. These temperatures can be achieved with good efficiencies using common solar thermal collectors like flat plate collectors or evacuated tube collectors. One of the most important lessons learnt from previous project dealing with solar thermal process […]
Promotion of “sustainable cooling” in the service building sector (KeepCool)
The target sector of the project are both newly constructed and existing service buildings (both public and private sector). Since the building owners are the driving force in the investment& process, the project focuses on convincing building owners in the benefits of sustainable cooling solutions through marketing and dissemination of already existing technologies, knowledge and […]
ST-ESCOs – Development of pilot Solar Thermal Energy Service Companies
The ST-ESCOs can completely remove the above mentioned barriers, thus opening the way for a rapid expansion of solar thermal installations throughout Europe in all potential sectors (residential, services and industry), both private and public by selling the solar energy (and not necessarily the solar plant) at a competitive price and by carrying out the […]
NEGST
The overall objective of this project is to introduce more cost-effective solar thermal systems, particularly for domestic hot water preparation and/or space heating, to the market in order to contribute to the European Union’s Action Plans with regard to the reduction of CO2–emissions and the cost effective supply of renewable energies. In order to achieve […]
FEEt – Bestehende fossile oder teilfossile Fernwärmenetze – Einbindung von dezentraler Energie aus Erneuerbaren Energieträgern – Chancen und Hemmnisse
The net operators in the first instance primarily consider useful waste heat resources and only secondly about new plants. As a result of an interview with network operators a short-term potential (until 2006) of annual 569,000 MWh for the feed in of heat from renewable energy (incl. waste heat utilisation) in the network could be […]
SolProBat – Development of a Methodology for the Integration of Solar Thermal Process Heat in Batch Processes
Therefore, the development of a methodology to implement solar thermal energy into the heat generation system of a production site combined with possible heat recovery measures have been the aim of the project. The so called “Pinch – Analysis” is a powerful tool to determine the potential for internal heat recovery and was used in […]
MOSOL-NET: Development of a modular expandable technical solution, which enable solar supported heating networks in new buildings
Technical and economical applicable solutions for modular-expendable solar-supported heating networks for new buildings should be developed in the framework of this project. This should be done in cooperation with building developers, heat suppliers, public utility companies and technology providers (solar energy and biomass). Building developers are in general prepared to realise a central heat supply […]
Solar thermal systems for public bath facilities in Iran
Die IFCO (Iranien Federation for Conservation of Oil) eine staatliche Organisation plant ein Förderprogramm für die Nutzung thermischer Solarenergie und sucht nach Einsparpotenzialen beim Rohölverbrauch samt Reduzierung logistischer Kosten. Im Rahmen eines Projektes ist geplant, in den nächsten 5 Jahren 1000 Badhäuser in den wirtschaftlich schwachen Randgebieten der Ballungszentren mit Solaranlagen auszustatten. Zusätzlich sollen 200.000 […]
Solar heat for industrial processes, IEA SHC Task 33/IV
Das zentrale Ziel dieser internationalen Forschungskooperation ist die Erschließung industrieller Prozesswärme für solarthermische Anlagen. Dazu werden sowohl theoretische Grundlagen erarbeitet wie auch Komponenten und systemtechnische Konzepte entwickelt. Die Arbeit gliedert sich in folgende vier Teilaufgaben: Österreichische Beiträge: Die Nutzung von Solarenergie in Gewerbe- und Industriebetrieben ist in Österreich derzeit gegenüber der Nutzung im Schwimmbad- und […]
