Definition of standardized energy profiles for heating and cooling of buildings
For promoting the diffusion of GSHP (Ground Source Heat Pumps) a tool for
sizing these systems will be carried out in the H2020 research project named
\u201cCheap GSHPs\u201d. The paper presents the set up of a database with energy profile
of a certain amount of buildings representative of the typology (single family houses,
block of flats, office buildings) with different insulation levels and in different
climatic conditions. Based on the weather analysis among European climatic files,
twenty locations have been considered. For each location the overall energy and the
mean hourly monthly energy profiles for heating and cooling (sensible and latent)
have been calculated. Based on the results, the correlations with Degree Days (DD)
for heating and cooling have been found in order to generalize the results to have
pre-calculated profiles for sizing GSHP
