Activities
Task 1 – Systems to be investigated
- Evaluation of the most common systems for integrated multifunctional heat pumps system
- Evaluation of heat sources used for integrated heat pump systems
- Demand structures (space heating/cooling, DHW, ventilation) for low energy houses and possibilities of passive measures (shading, natural cooling, ventilation etc.)
- Distributions systems (surface heating/cooling, air distribution)
Task 2 – Calculation, comparison and assessment of system solutions
- Calculation and assessment of the most common system configurations resulting from Task 1
- Comparison of system solutions among each other and with non heat pump systems with regard to overall energy use and costs
- Evaluation of adequate control for the investigated systems
Task 3 – Field testing of integrated heat pump systems
Task 3 is carried out in parallel to Task 2 to cross check results of Task 2
- Establishing of an appropriate measuring concept and instrumentation for comparison with the assessment carried out in Task 2
- Functionality check and commissioning of test plants and derivation of key values for system performance
- Summarising and comparison of results for best practice samples in the design guidelines to be developed in Task 4
Task 4 – Design guidelines for integrated heat pump systems for low energy houses including its control
- Derivation of design guidelines of the results of Task 2 and Task 3 with regards to the requirements
- Transfer of the results to standardisation committees to be integrated in standard calculation
