Numerička i višekriterijumska analiza energetskih tokova u osnovnoj školi na teritoriji grada Kragujevca

Abstract

In this investigation, a numerical and multi-criteria analysis of energy flow in the primary school in the city of Kragujevac is presented. A model of the existing school building with a district heating system was created. Alternative heating systems (the gas boiler, the pellet boiler, and the ground source heat pump) were analyzed to achieve energy savings. Different types of buildings are simulated with and without photovoltaic panels. Google SketchUp was used for building modeling, while EnergyPlus simulated buildings' energy behavior in real conditions. Results show that pellet boilers with photovoltaic panels can reduce primary energy by 89% and CO₂ emission by 87.55%. For the ground source heat pump with photovoltaic panels, the final energy saving is 77.83%, primary energy saving is 70.82%, and CO₂ reduction is 57.90%. Using numerical and multi-criteria analyses, the authors want to bring the existing public buildings closer to the zero-energy building concept and the city closer to the sustainable development concept.
