Abstract
The present research is concerned with the investigation of the process of regulating the heating system in a multi-room building, with a focus on the consideration of thermal comfort zones. Furthermore, the development of methodologies aimed at enhancing energy efficiency by maintaining the minimum permissible temperature is of significance. This objective is pursued by employing a combination of water heating with local heat sources exhibiting a substantial range of controllability.
The model of heat exchange in a building has been improved and an effective way of achieving the desired microclimate in the relevant zone, while minimising energy costs, has been proposed. Maintaining the minimum allowable temperature in the house through a water heating system and the use of a separate heat source with a wide range of control to maintain thermal comfort in the house. Methods to reduce energy consumption are proposed.
The findings of the study on the process of thermal comfort control in a multi-room house revealed that utilising a water heating system to maintain the overall temperature, in conjunction with electric heaters in designated zones, enables a reduction in energy consumption when compared to the energy consumption of the system alone when maintaining general comfortable conditions. In circumstances where electricity supply is constrained, the decentralised control system has been shown to facilitate zone-specific heating regulation by allocating available electrical power among all consumers based on priority and control error.
