- Abstract
Currently, approximately 40% of the energy demand in the European Union (EU) is used in buildings and the energy demand for cooling and heating is increasing every year, so the energy efficiency of buildings represents a problem of increased interest and of extreme relevance. The article proposes, through the case study, the installation of a photovoltaic system for the production of electricity on the roofs of the buildings and the cooling and heating of the building using a water-to-water heat pump. Having the advantage of the location of the studied buildings on the banks of the river Bega in the town of Timisoara, the case study proposes the cooling of the spaces in the buildings in two variants, namely in the spring and autumn when the outside temperature is not very high using the river water directly ("free cooling"), and in the summer for the hot months, a water-to-water heat pump to cool the cooling agent to the parameters necessary to achieve a proper air conditioning.
