The prestigious references on the following pages offer impressive evidence of the capabilities of Viessmann heating systems. Contents Heating systems By drawing on a diverse range of examples, this brochure shows how the most varied energy solutions can be put into practice with the comprehensive range from Viessmann. Everything from a single source – with completely matched systems. At home 6 Today's new builds are designed for maximum efficiency. Above all, this means using systems that obtain energy from the environment. Not only heat, but also power, to achieve the greatest possible level of independence from the public grid. At work 16 The ideal working environment is also dependent on pleasant room temperatures. Many renewable heating solutions are possible, using energy from the ambient air, groundwater or the ground. Production 24 In production plants and commercial enterprises, energy is required in all of its various forms – as hot water, steam and also, of course, electricity. Viessmann offers efficient, powerful technology for all applications. Hospitals 28 High cost pressures, and the need for a continual supply of energy, mean that particularly efficient solutions are required in the healthcare sector. Modernising a heating system can significantly reduce the energy demand and energy costs. 4/5 Public and leisure facilities 32 Public buildings for cultural and leisure activities have different requirements for heat provision. Whilst one may need large volumes of hot water for its spa areas, another requires low temperatures for the preservation of cultural artefacts. Retail and tourism 38 Shopping centres and retail businesses require relatively little hot water, but their customers expect pleasant temperatures and good ventilation. In hotels, on the other hand, a convenient hot water supply plays an important role. Local authorities 44 Rural areas are best placed to take advantage of renewable energy generation. A local heating network can supply all of the households in a bioenergy village efficiently and cheaply with heat and power from renewable sources. The company 48 Viessmann is one of the world's leading manufacturers of efficient systems for heat, cooling, steam and decentralised power generation. As a third generation family run business, the company has been supplying heating systems with low emissions for many decades. More than 250 detailed reference systems are also available to view online.

  • Fuel Cell Technology for Domestic Built Environment Applications: State Of-The-Art Review
    FUEL CELL TECHNOLOGY FOR DOMESTIC BUILT ENVIRONMENT APPLICATIONS: STATE OF-THE-ART REVIEW Theo Elmer*, Mark Worall, Shenyi Wu and Saffa Riffat Architecture, Climate and Environment Research Group The University of Nottingham, NG7 2RD (UK) *corresponding author email: [email protected] ABSTRACT Fuel cells produce heat when generating electricity, thus they are of particular interest for combined heat and power (CHP) and combined cooling heat and power (CCHP) applications, also known as tri-generation systems. CHP and tri-generation systems offer high energy conversion efficiency and hence the potential to reduce fuel costs and CO2 emissions. This paper serves to provide a state-of-the-art review of fuel cell technology operating in the domestic built environment in CHP and tri-generation system applications. The review aims to carry out an assessment of the following topics: (1) the operational advantages fuel cells offer in CHP and tri-generation system configurations, specifically, compared to conventional combustion based technologies such as Stirling engines, (2) how decarbonisation, running cost and energy security in the domestic built environment may be addressed through the use of fuel cell technology, and (3) what has been done to date and what needs to be done in the future. The paper commences with a review of fuel cell technology, then moves on to examine fuel cell CHP systems operating in the domestic built environment, and finally explores fuel cell tri-generation systems in domestic built environment applications. The paper concludes with an assessment of the present development of, and future challenges for, domestic fuel cells operating in CHP and tri-generation systems.

  • Analysis of the Potential for Gas Micro-Cogeneration Development in Poland Using the Monte Carlo Method
    energies Article Analysis of the Potential for Gas Micro-Cogeneration Development in Poland Using the Monte Carlo Method Dominik Kryzia 1 , Marta Kuta 2 , Dominika Matuszewska 2 and Piotr Olczak 1,* 1 Mineral and Energy Economy Research Institute, Polish Academy of Sciences, 7A Wybickiego St., 31-261 Cracow, Poland; [email protected] 2 AGH University of Science and Technology, 30 Mickiewicza Ave., 30-059 Cracow, Poland; [email protected] (M.K.); [email protected] (D.M.) * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 27 April 2020; Accepted: 15 June 2020; Published: 17 June 2020 Abstract: Micro-cogeneration (mCHP) is a promising solution for the generation of heat and electricity in households, it contributes to reducing carbon dioxide emissions in countries where the production of electricity is mainly based on fossil fuels. Its dissemination in Poland faces barriers in the form of high purchase prices in relation to electricity productivity. In this work 1% of the household population in Poland was analyzed using the Monte Carlo method. It was found that for mCHP to become economically profitable for a group of at least 10,000 households, its price should fall from around 18,000 euros (711.5 euros/kWth and 18,000 euros/kWe) to 4800 euros (189.7 euros/kWth and 4800 euros/kWe) and for 100,000 households to 4100 euros (162.1 euros/kWth and 4100 euros/kWe). These calculations were made for fixed gas and electricity prices. The analysis also included cases of various changes in gas and energy prices. Faster growth of electricity prices than gas prices reduce the profitability barrier.
