Solar and Heat Pump Systems for Residential Buildings

Die Kombination von Wärmepumpen und Solarthermie ist eine relativ neue Entwicklung und hat großes Potenzial, die Energieeffizienz von Heizungs- und Warmwasseranlagen wesentlich zu erhöhen. Damit kann die Gesamtenergiebilanz eines Gebäudes entscheidend verbessert werden.
Das Buch ist ein Leitfaden für Entwurf, Simulation, Monitoring und Evaluation von Systemen aus Wärmepumpen und Solarthermie. Verschiedene Systeme werden verglichen und hinsichtlich ihrer Leistungsfähigkeit analysiert. Ergebnisse von Simulationen und Labortests werden ebenso beschrieben wie die Erfahrungen aus gebauten Projekten. Somit ermöglicht es dem Leser, entsprechend der jeweiligen Randbedingungen seines Projektes das effizienteste System zu entwerfen.
Dieses Buch ist das erste, das sich eingehend mit dieser Kombination von Komponenten befasst und präsentiert den aktuellen Stand der Technik in diesem Bereich. Es basiert auf einem vierjährigen gemeinsamen Forschungsprojekt zweier Programme der Internationalen Energieagentur: 'Solar Heating and Cooling' (SHC) und 'Heat Pump'. Mehr als 50 renommierte Experten aus 13 Ländern waren an dem Projekt beteiligt.

Autorentext
Jean-Christophe Hadorn is a Civil Engineer (Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, Lausanne) and holds an MBA from HEC University Lausanne. He led the Task 44 Solar and Heat Pump Systems of the Solar Heating and Cooling Programme as operating agent from 2010 to 2013, a group of 55 participants that realized the present book.
Since 1985, Mr Hadorn has been appointed every year as external manager of thermal solar energy and heat storage research program by the Swiss government.
He was asked in 2003-2005 by the French government to set up the new National Institute of Solar Energy (INES) in France, now operating with more than 100 researchers.
From 2005 to 2008 he was chairman of the board of a solar PV company listed on the Nasdaq.
In 2000, he founded an engineering company dealing with solar energy, environmental and new energy issues.
Since 2013 he has led the Pierre Chuard Group, a renowned HVAC engineering company in Switzerland.

Zusammenfassung
The combination of heat pumps and solar components is a recent development and has great potential for improving the energy efficiency of house and hot water heating systems. As a consequence, it can enhance the energy footprint of a building substantially.
This work compares different systems, analyses their performance and illustrates monitoring techniques. It helps the reader to design, simulate and assess solar and heat pump systems. Good examples of built systems are discussed in detail and advice is given on how to design the most efficient system.
This book is the first one about this combination of components and presents the state of the art of this technology. It is based on a joint research project of two programmes of the International Energy Agency: the Solar Heating and Cooling Programme (SHC) and the Heat Pump Programme. More than 50 experts from 13 countries have participated in this research.
