#TRNSYS MODEL 567 BIPV SOFTWARE#
On the one hand, this study aimed at the modelling of both integrated PV systems which were developed firstly with the MATLAB software and then with the TRNSYS software. This DPD was used as case study all along this Master thesis. The dwelling is a so-called Deep Performance Dwelling (DPD) developed by the Solar Decathlon team from Canada: TeamMTL. This HVAC system incorporated a dual-tank water-to-water heat pump (WWHP), used for space heating and cooling, using the BIPV/T system as a heat source thanks to preheated air. The objective was to reduce the overall energy consumption of a very well insulated dwelling aiming to make it a net zero energy building (NZEB). A brief energy context being stated, this work focused on the assessment and the optimization of a heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) system, coupled with a building integrated photovoltaic and thermal (BIPV/T) system and a simple BIPV system. Fossil fuels represent 75% of the primary energy supply for heating and cooling needs whereas renewable energies account for only 18% followed by nuclear energy with 7%. In the European Union, this proportion achieves 40% of the total energy consumption, of which heating, cooling and domestic hot water account for around 70%. On its own, the building sector is responsible for 1/3 of the world’s energy consumption, of which 60% is due to heating and cooling. The 3 key objectives include a 20% reduction of greenhouse gases (GHG) and CO2 compared to 1990 levels (and up to 80% by 2050), a 20% improvement in energy efficiency and a 20% share of basis energy consumption from renewable sources.
