Solar Combi systems promotion and standardisation (COMBISOL)
|
 |
|
Solar CombiSystems are solar heating installations providing both space heating and domestic hot water in buildings. Combisol will encourage an accelerated market deployment of CombiSystems - hence a higher share of heat produced by solar energy - and will improve the quality of the systems installed. In particular, it will:
- promote best practices for CombiSystems,
- promote standardised systems and cost-effective solutions,
- propose recommendations to manufacturers with regard to CombiSystems design,
- train installers,
- develop specific dimensioning tools based on the EPBD methodology,
- increase consumers confidence, providing information on energy efficiency of CombiSystems, based on in-situ monitoring and test labs.
The consortium has a wide experience of CombiSystems, and their combined fields of expertise cover all the aspects of technology dissemination. Professional associations will also be involved in order to convey the results to the relevant target group, and to have feedbacks from manufacturers and installers. |
- The increase of consumers confidence in solar combisystems, with the better knowledge of thermal performances, that have been proved by in-situ monitoring
- A well established test method for solar combisystems that is well accepted by manufacturers, and can be used by CEN TC 312 (" Thermal Solar Systems and Components") in order to complete the existing standards
- A comprehensive relevant set of tools both for manufacturers and installers that are promoting the best practices for solar combisystems, that can be widely used for promoting solar heating in new and existing buildings
- A better knowledge of combisystems that can be used :
By the manufacturers, to improve the design of the systems : we expect that new standardised and cost-effective solutions would be developed thanks to CombiSol.
By the installers, to give advices to consumers, to select the most appropriate system, and to improve their installation quality by avoiding the most common mistakes.
