Descripción del proyecto

Bombear calor eficiente en materia de energía en edificios

Aunque se está avanzando hacia unos edificios y construcciones sostenibles, es necesario que las mejoras mantengan el ritmo de la creciente demanda de servicios energéticos. En la actualidad, los edificios representan el 40 % de la demanda energética en Europa y el 36 % de las emisiones de CO2 relacionadas con la energía. Esto hace que la descarbonización del parque inmobiliario europeo sea vital para garantizar que la Unión Europea alcance los objetivos climáticos proyectados. Con esto en mente, el proyecto financiado con fondos europeos HAPPENING está desarrollando una solución basada en bombas de calor descentralizadas que son fáciles de instalar, poco intrusivas para los residentes del edificio y fáciles de adaptar a numerosas situaciones diferentes de los edificios. El proyecto desplegará nuevos modelos financieros y de negocio para garantizar la competitividad en cuanto a los costes.

Objetivo

Currently, buildings are responsible for 40 % of the energy demand and 36% of the CO2 emissions in Europe. Decarbonisation of existing buildings plays a key role in order to reach the overall climate protection targets. However, current renovation rates lie in the order of 1%.
Heat pumps are a key technology in bringing renewable shares into heat supply of buildings; especially their combination with onsite renewable electricity production e.g. by PV allows to bring high renewable shares. Their current installation in existing multi-apartment buildings is however still marginal.

The proposed technological solution is based on decentralized heat pumps, in such a way that it results an easy-to-install solution for installers, low-intrusive for the occupants and easily adaptable to a large number of different building situations. This is flanked by developing near-zero planning, implementation and operation processes, in order to facilitate the work during the planning phase, ensure a high-quality installation and effective operation, and reduce the efforts and costs within the whole retrofitting project. The challenge of cost-competitiveness is addressed by developing new financial and business models. Bringing new players (such as financial experts) and financing models to the renovation market is expected to bring the needed paradigm change and boost investments in the residential retrofitting sector. Dissemination of measured performance and system characteristics from HAPPENING will be one of the key results of the project.

Through 3 demo sites (Spain, Italy and Austria), the project will demonstrate a highly versatile, scalable and replicable solution package for buildings energy system retrofitting allowing 70-75% of renewable energy fraction, 30-50% of PE and GHG savings, reduction of planning time by 50% and installation/operation time by 30% and payback time for ESCOs and investors of less than 8 years, compared to best available solution existing today.
