Comfort cooling and solar power: a perfect match ?

Author(s) : FAHLÉN E., OLSSON H., CHRISTENSSON N.

Type of article: Article, Case study

Summary

In buildings where there is a demand for comfort cooling, electricity-driven compression chillers combined with photovoltaics may be an interesting solution to achieve net zero in energy use for cooling thanks to the potential simultaneity in demand and generation of electricity during summer. Using the first passive house-certified retirement home in Sweden as a case, this paper presents and evaluates how well the load demand and the solar power generation coincide hour by hour.
