تاثیر استراتژی های سرمایه گذاری پایین برای کنترل گرمایش فضا: استفاده از رادیاتور شیر ترموستاتیک به یک ساختمان قدیمی مسکونی

This paper analyzes the application of space heating control devices such as thermostatic radiators valves (TRVs) on an old existing multi-family building in Turin by means of the EnergyPlus dynamic simulation code. Measured data of the energy supplied by the district heating network were used for calibrating the model. In order to evaluate the impact of the TRVs, simulations were performed with and without TRVs. The application of the dynamic energy simulation to different patterns of TRVs use was proved to bring back significant energy savings from a minimum of 2% up to a maximum of 10%.
