Use of paraboloid solar concentrators to reduce heat consumption of residential buildings in the climatic conditions of Uzbekistan

Abstract

This work examines the possibility of reducing the specific heat consumption of residential buildings for the climate of Toshkent and Navoi using a solar paraboloid concentrator and a heated floor system. Mathematical models of a living space, a paraboloid concentrator and a heated floor system are integrated, and the calculations are performed in the MathCAD programming environment and Python programming languages. As the results show, when using a paraboloid concentrator and a heated floor system, the annual specific heat consumption can be reduced to 26%, and the payback period is 18-22.5 years, depending on the level of thermal protection.
