This article deals with simultaneous optimization of building energy performance from both the building and system design points of view. Most research conducted on building energy demand reduction and energy supply optimization treats the demand and supply aspects separately. First, the demand side parameters are analyzed for a demand reduction and then the most suitable configuration for the primary energy conversion is investigated. The relationship between the building energy demand and supply may not be clearly understood when they are analyzed sequentially instead of simultaneously. This article investigates the potentiality of an integrated building demand-supply energy optimization method that could provide a solution to the building energy efficiency problem. The method is based on the Extended Building Energy Hub (EBEH) concept, which is an evolution of the Building Energy Hub (BEH) method. In the BEN approach, the vector of energy inputs-the energy supply-is related to the vector of energy outputs-the energy demand-by means of a coupling matrix. The coefficients of this matrix are functions of the efficiency of the various energy conversion systems and of the distribution of energy fluxes in the energy converters. In the EBEH method, the demand side building design parameters are also included in a coupling matrix and are evaluated together with primary energy options. In this way for example, the demand side parameters (U values, window-to-wall ratio, etc.) can be contrasted with the opportunity of using solar energy for the production of electricity, and the optimum configuration can be calculated by maximizing the primary energy savings. The article introduces the basic principles of this approach. A preliminary practical demonstration is also developed through the application of a simplified procedure to a case study of an existing building. |
