Zero Net Energy Consuming Residential Houses

Abstract

Preliminary investigation of the assigned task shows that the energy efficiency of residential houses is conditioned by the quantity of energy, consumed by all internal energy providing systems that serve for creation of comfort microclimate in all rooms of the building. The energy consuming systems of residential houses are: heating, ventilation, air conditioning, domestic hot water providing, tap water supplying systems and other life supporting facilities. If the listed systems consume possibly least quantity of energy or so cold zero net energy, the building can be qualified as energy efficient. The authors of this article try to give right answers how to provide the best, cheapest and ecologically safe solutions of assigned tasks. One of the radical solutions of the problem is the development and use of fossil fuel non-consuming installations of energy production. To overcome of mentioned problems the authors developed new type of thermal and electrical energy generating high efficiency local and central systems. For this reason, the authors of this study decided to develop new generation of heating, ventilation and domestic hot water supplying high efficiency integrated systems.
