Abstract: (20 Views) |
During the last few decades, the use of renewable energy such as solar energy is proposed as a solution to meet the growing needs for new energy sources and respond to the needs of dealing with environmental pollution in the building sector. Among these, one of the methods for providing heating of the building and using thermal storage techniques is Trombe wall. In this article, a Trombe wall containing phase change materials was modeled using Design Builder software and the effect of building orientation on the amount of energy consumption in an existing building, in four different climates according to three samples of phase change materials available in Iranian markets and also It has been evaluated according to the comfort temperature of the climate. The simulation results show that the effect of phase change materials is the same in all three tested samples, but in the examination of the amount of energy consumption, the highest amount is 223 kilowatts per hour in hot and humid climates and the lowest amount is 152 kilowatts per hour in cold climates and at an angle of 90°. According to the prices of energy carriers, the cost of building energy consumption in cold climates is such that it allows the return of investment for phase change materials in the Trombe wall during one year, and it can be concluded that the implementation of the Trombe wall containing phase change materials of any of the examples in The Iranian market is affordable in the cold climate. |
