Effectiveness Assessment of Energy-Saving System of Organized Supply and Exhaust Ventilation for Multi-Storey Buildings with Low Level Thermal Protection

By usage of the technical and economic calculation method developed by the authors for installations with recuperative-type heat exchangers, the operational modes of the centralized supply and exhaust system of organized ventilation, in which the supplying air is heated by the solar radiation heat and the heat of the air removed from the premises, have been investigated in the paper. The paper presents results of the thermal and economic efficiency assessment of such ventilation system for multi-storey buildings. A comparison of the thermal energy consumption for the needs of heating and ventilation through the use of the proposed ventilation system has been made for two variants of buildings – with the thermal protection level of enclosing structures that meets modern regulatory requirements (buildings with heat consumption up  to 130 kW×h/(m²×year)), and for a building similar in terms of planning structure, but with enclosing structures, the insulation level of which corresponds to buildings built before 1993 (buildings with heat consumption up to 260 kW×h/(m²×year)).  The temperature conditions have been determined under which it becomes necessary to turn on the operation of devices  for additional (peak) heating of the supply air, when the thermal potential of solar radiation and secondary energy resources  is  insufficient to provide the calculated temperature of the supply air. For the ventilation system under consideration, it has been  established that the thermal resistance of the building envelope influences the indicators of the thermodynamic and economic efficiency of the proposed solution. The climatic conditions under which the utilization of the exhaust air heat in the proposed ventilation system is technically justified and economically expedient have been determined.
