Windows features

Double glazing with selective coating : U= 0.6 [W/m2 K] g=0.55
Wood-metal frames : U= 0.7 [W/m2 K]
Shading fraction : Fo= 0.45
Frame fraction : fc= 0.25
Internal blinds fraction : fv= 0

Technical equipment (HVAC, DHW, electricity)

Heating

Gas boiler 150 kW, annual consumption 1.160 [GJ]

Heated volume V= 11'355 [m3]

Domestic Hot Water (DHW)

Consumption : 20 [litres / person day] = 0.02 [m3/ person day]

Daily usage : 12 [h/day] = 0.0432 [Ms/day] with number of usage days NJecs = 365 [days / year]

Average difference between incoming water temperature(~12[°C]) and supply water temperature (~60[°C]) : Δθ = 48 [°C], [K]

Electricity

Yearly consumption : 56'500 [kWh/year]

Lighting

Lighting energy intensity in the offices : 9.4 [W/m2]

Photometric measurements (<= )

Heat recovery

Rotary enthalpy heat exchanger "ECONOVENT"

Exchange efficiency: ηech = 0.85

Specific electricity use of the heat recovery system : Eel = 0.45 [Wh/m3 of air]

Heat recovery rate : ηrecup = 0.75

Renewable production

South oriented solar thermal collectors tilted 45°

Energy conversion efficiency : ηcaptage = 0.45

Renewable storage

Seasonal storage in a thermally insulated water tank/ in the ground

Storage efficiency : ηstock (water) = 0.75 | ηstock (terrain) = 0.50
