EXERGETIC ANALYSIS OF A BUILDING AS A KEY ELEMENT OF A HEAT SUPPLY SYSTEM

Abstract

the study of the complex influence of weather and climatic factors and their variability on the needs of en-ergy and exergy when creating thermal comfort in a house with various engineering and architectural charac-teristics is carried out. It is confirmed that even for houses with relatively low thermal characteristics built in accordance with regulatory documents, the role of solar radiation in the formation of the heat balance, espe-cially at the beginning and end of the heating season, is important. Studies showed that due to the combined influence of external meteorological factors, with the improvement of the thermal characteristics of houses, the correlation between the energy demand for creating a favorable microclimate and the outdoor air tem-perature significantly worsens. It is determined that in this case, the value of the approximation reliability decreases from 1 (with a linear dependence) to 0.55 and lower (with the maximum possible improved ther-mal characteristics of the house today). This position significantly corrects the operating modes and charac-teristics of the ST. In particular, this makes it necessary to improve the automatic control system of ST. And this, in turn, increases the investment component of the system. A method was developed for calculating exergy needs to create thermal comfort inside the house by taking into account, using the probability theory, the influence of the random nature of meteorological factors within the heating period, on the basis of which, in the conditions of the region, it is shown and calculated that when determining the seasonal exergy needs for the heat supply of the house, the use of a stationary approach leads to an underestimation of the results by 12...28% compared to the dynamic approach
