INTRODUCTION In this paper an attempt has been made to provide the best options for renewable energy and low carbon technologies to reduce CO2 emissions from a detached house built in 1950 and located in London. The options for energy efficiency measures—photovoltaics, solar thermal, wind turbine, ground source heat pump, Gas CHP—have been evaluated on the basis of energy and CO2 savings and technical viability. The main conclusions derived from this study are summarised in this paper.

Abstract The goals of this paper are: to estimate the carbon emission reduction on energy efficiency measurements in a laboratory building in Transilvania University from Braşov, Romania, in accordance with the European Directive 2009/28/EC and to estimate the contribution of renewable energy to energy efficiency of the building using the performance indicator named Renewable Energy Ratio - RER. We will detail the methods of calculation for CO2 emissions and we will present the results for gas condensing boiler, and ground source heat pump for the laboratory building. The results show that conventional energy efficiency technologies and renewable energy technologies can be used to decrease CO2 emissions in buildings by 20–30% on average and up to over 40% for some building types and locations. The contribution of renewable energy is between 40 and 50 % from total energy use and only for heating is 58%. This value could rise to 0.63 if we apply to electricity produced by photovoltaic panels.

Energy Supply Systems

The majority of the single-family houses in Sweden are affected by deteriorations in building envelopes as well as heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems. These dwellings are, therefore, in need of extensive renovation, which provides an excellent opportunity to install renewable energy supply systems to reduce the total energy consumption. The high investment costs of the renewable energy supply systems were previously distinguished as the main barrier in the installation of these systems in Sweden. House-owners should, therefore, compare the profitability of the energy supply systems and select the one, which will allow them to reduce their operational costs. This study analyses the profitability of a ground source heat pump, photovoltaic solar panels and an integrated ground source heat pump with a photovoltaic system, as three energy supply systems for a single-family house in Sweden. The profitability of the supply systems was analysed by calculating the payback period (PBP) and internal rate of return (IRR) for these systems. Three different energy prices, three different interest rates, and two different lifespans were considered when calculating the IRR and PBP. In addition, the profitability of the supply systems was analysed for four Swedish climate zones. The analyses of results show that the ground source heat pump system was the most profitable energy supply system since it provided a short PBP and high IRR in all climate zones when compared with the other energy supply systems. Additionally, results show that increasing the energy price improved the profitability of the supply systems in all climate zones.

Central Air Conditioning

Ground-Source Heat Pump (PSHP) was verified by US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as one of the most efficient air conditioning systems on present market. It has a higher efficiency than other heating systems from 50% to 70%, and a higher efficiency than other cooling systems from 30% to 50%. The working principle of PSHP determines its low operating costs. By comparing the total energy efficiency, the existing groundwater heat pump total energy efficiency is the highest, about 115%. The total energy efficiency for soil-source heat pump is up to 100%. But traditional air conditioning is far less than the level. Articles present a research on Ground-Source Heat Pump system and its cost with a scientific and objective principles. Ground-source heat pump is a new central air conditioning system of Low-carbon energy saving. Due to the high technical content, function requirement, and installation difficulty , the average initial investment of ground-source heat pump is much higher than traditional central air conditioning. Taking into account the added costs of heating systems based on traditional central air-conditioning, such as boilers, it will not deviate too much from it.

Low Global Warming Potential

Renewable energy, which is drawing more and more attentions in low global warming potential research area, has been applied in a large area of China for the past decade. In 2004, the overall application area of ground-source heat pump (GSHP) as a typical renewable energy is less than 8 million m2, while the overall application area increased dramatically to 100 million m2 till 2009. The present work did an in-depth research of coefficient of system performance (COPs) of GSHP based on the test results of around 70 building-integrated applications over 5 million m2. After comparison of different cool/heat source types and analysis of the collected existing application problems, the present paper provides some suggestions on the sustainable application of GSHP in China.
