Energy-intensive building
​​

Reformed building with 27 apartments, applying energy efficiency criteria.

It’s situatedin an alpine zone.

The winter’s minimum temperature is -12°C.

Reduced heating consumption by 82%.

Acting on facade insulation and heating system: thermographic study, 15 to 20cminsulation, triple glazing LowE, blower door test, etc.

Building users opinion

Users are happy because their heating cost is very low and the comfort has increased.
Owner is happy too because he can grow up the price to rent the apartments, even if the users pays less than before (because the heating cost). He is happy too because he has a waiting list to rent their apartments.

Product

    rockwool external pipe insulation 2x5cm each pipe

    Table 'c21_spain.innov_category' doesn't exist SELECT one.innov_category AS current,two.innov_category AS parentFROM innov_category AS oneINNER JOIN innov_category AS two ON one.parent_id = two.idWHERE one.state=1AND one.id = '0'

    exterior pipe insulation

    very good insulation with this thickness


    daikin heat pump

    Table 'c21_spain.innov_category' doesn't exist SELECT one.innov_category AS current,two.innov_category AS parentFROM innov_category AS oneINNER JOIN innov_category AS two ON one.parent_id = two.idWHERE one.state=1AND one.id = '0'

    Heat pump for heating low temperature (max 50ºC) and high efficiency COP between 2.84 to 3.77, ESEER 3.78.
    It works at proportional temperature to outdoor temp to achieve always maximum COP.

    We use with this heat pump, existing old radiators (high temperature and high emission) to heat this buiding after refurbishment, working at low temperature and low emission.


    daikin altherma for DHW

    Table 'c21_spain.innov_category' doesn't exist SELECT one.innov_category AS current,two.innov_category AS parentFROM innov_category AS oneINNER JOIN innov_category AS two ON one.parent_id = two.idWHERE one.state=1AND one.id = '0'

    High temperature heat pump to produce domestic hot water (DHW)

    Produces low cost hot water. No problems


    grundfos magna 3 for heating and DHW

    Table 'c21_spain.innov_category' doesn't exist SELECT one.innov_category AS current,two.innov_category AS parentFROM innov_category AS oneINNER JOIN innov_category AS two ON one.parent_id = two.idWHERE one.state=1AND one.id = '0'

    Electronic pump with connection to BMS control system, data transmission: pressure (bar), flow (m3/h), instant consumption (W), cumulate consumption (kWh), thermal flow (kWh).
    Working at constant temperature function (hot water production) or at constant pressure function (for heating facility)

    Sometimes the pump stops without any order
