What is Synergy of intelligent design and operation for sustainable residential heating systems, case study: Jordanian residential sector about?
Heating has been always considered a necessity for humans. Nonetheless, it has always imposed a sustainability challenge, both economically and environmentally. This paper proposes a solution for sustainable residential heating in regions experiencing moderate Winters. The solution integrates the effects of intelligent design and operation. It encompasses minimization of thermal inadequacy, renewable energy incorporation, and optimal policy for the heating controls. Through a case study for an apartment in Jordan, the merits of the proposed solution are highlighted in terms of performance, feasibility, and environmental-friendliness using a detailed physical model. It was found out that thermal inadequacy could double both electricity consumption and generated CO 2 . Additionally, despite having global warming potential for their working fluids, utilization of heat pumps instead of electric heaters can reduce CO 2 emissions by 75 % with a payback period as short as 15 heating months. Finally, various heating schemes are examined. A proposed policy which represents a hybrid control technique merging threshold controller with demand-based zone heating was found to be capable of handl
