Abstract

In this study, a study was carried out on integrating solar assisted systems into heating systems in a building. For the study, an existing building was modeled with the DesignBuilder building energy simulation program. The scenarios were created on the model to determine the number of solar collectors and the capacity of the water tank used in solar assisted heating systems. The primary energy consumption, global costs and payback periods of the scenarios created were obtained by parametric analysis. According to the results obtained, the solution that reduces primary energy consumption the most is SYS20, the solution that reduces the global cost the most is SYS1 and the optimum solution is SYS7. Considering the payback periods, SYS1 was determined as the most appropriate solution to be applied in the study since it was the solution with the minimum payback period. At the end of the study, it was seen that primary energy savings could be reduced by up to 47% with solar energy assisted heating system. Thanks to the study, a reference source for the number of solar collectors and water tank capacity selection in Isparta and provinces with similar climates has been created.
