Improvements of Energy Balance of Existing Residential Buildings

Abstract:

The paper is oriented on searching for possibilities, which would approach the existing residential buildings to zero energy buildings. Existing residential buildings must remain competitive in the real estate market. Therefore, this paper is focused on progressive solutions, which application will significantly contribute to the approach towards zero energy balance. I have done my research on a concrete residential building in Bratislava. Scientifically I analyze the individual phases of improvement of this residential building. Firstly, I calculate the annual energy balance for individual phases, then I evaluate them. The basic improvement phases of energy balance of concrete residential building: insulation, regulation of heating system, application of heat pumps, application of solar collectors and photovoltaic modules. The scientific outputs are presented by well arranged graphs. Each improvement phase is analyzed in detail with introduced risks and contribution for energy balance. I will point out the problem of incorrect architectural design from the energy point of view, which remains a serious obstacle for further possible improvements with modern technological systems. By this research, I want to point out new possibilities for existing residential buildings.
