Energy optimization in single-family houses in warm climates

Description

Design Patterns to optimize energy consumption and the sustainable energy generation in single-family houses in warm climates

Financed by

Ministry of Science and Innovation, within the National Program of Applied Research Projects (PROFIT 2008)

Coordinated by

Instituto Tecnológico y de Energías Renovables

Participants

Tenerife Energy Agency

Abstract

The main goal of the project is to find the factors that affect energy consumption in each of the houses that make up the 25 Bioclimatic Dwelling and develop a diagram of the most favourable design patterns for our climatic conditions.

The first stage of the project has already been executed, consisting in the analysis of the 25 houses and determining the need monitoring to parameterize the different types of constructions, conditioning techniques and renewable energy yields.

Similarly, the domotic systems chosen were established and the types of units where they will be used.

The stages in which ITER is currently working belong to the installation and data take in, the design pattern development and the dissemination of the results of the bioclimatic lab.

The Design Patterns for the optimization of energy consumption and the sustainable energy generation in single-family houses in warm climates project is being developed with the grant of the Ministry of Science and Applied Innovation.The two-year execution deadline which started in the year 2008 and lasts until 2010.
