Abstract:
Within the Heat Pump programme of the Netherlands Agency for Energy andthe Environment (Novem), a series of studies are being carried out to gain
more insight into the technical and financial possibilities of the most
promising configurations of heat pumps in various categories of utility
buildings. More information about the nature of the heating and cooling
demand now appears to be necessary for these analyses. The heating and
cooling demand differs per utility category. This is true not only for the
magnitude of the demand for heat or cold, but also for the distribution of
the demand per day, month and/or year. Both the magnitude and the
distribution of the demand are partially determined by the energetic quality
of the building. This energetic quality is expressed as the energy
performance coefficient (EPC). The purpose of this study is to determine the
annual load curve for heating and cooling demand for different utility
buildings, and to determine the effect of various measures that change the
demand, on the course of the curve. The study focused on new buildings in the
following categories: office buildings, health-care buildings, swimming
pools, schools, conference buildings, and sports buildings. It appears that
the pattern of use of the building is a determining factor for the course of
the annual load curve for both heating and cooling demand. The curve for a
building with longer periods of usage (for example a conference building) is
different from a building with shorter or shifted periods of usage. 4 refs.
