The present deliverable defines the boundary conditions for the performance assessment of the proposed solar heating technology based on the novel Seasonal Thermal Energy Storage (STES) system. The first aim is to characterize the concerned climate zones, Cold or Temperate, that correspond to South/Central/North Europe, with different uses, habits, and constraints as concerns energy consumption. Also, Nearly Zero-Energy Building (NZEB) standards are considered. All available data will be used for this purpose, such as other European projects (e.g. ZERO-PLUS [1], TABULA [2], EPISCOPE [3]), international projects (e.g. IEA-EBC Annex 66), current European standards (e.g. EN12309:1-7; 2014 for gas-driven sorption heat pump), policy papers, and EC Communications and Recommendations. The second aim is to characterize and classify the typologies of residential buildings, with specific focus to solar active houses, in the selected climate zones, in order to identify potential adopters of the developed system. The classification will be carried out in terms of construction age, energy efficiency, and country-related characteristics, including architectural configuration, residential unit size and key geometry indicators, type of management system, etc.

Abstract
The present deliverable defines the boundary conditions for the performance assessment of the proposed solar heating technology based on the novel Seasonal Thermal Energy Storage (STES) system. The first aim is to characterize the concerned climate zones, Cold or Temperate, that correspond to South/Central/North Europe, with different uses, habits, and constraints as concerns energy consumption. Also, Nearly Zero-Energy Building (NZEB) standards are considered. All available data will be used for this purpose, such as other European projects (e.g. ZERO-PLUS [1], TABULA [2], EPISCOPE [3]), international projects (e.g. IEA-EBC Annex 66), current European standards (e.g. EN12309:1-7; 2014 for gas-driven sorption heat pump), policy papers, and EC Communications and Recommendations. The second aim is to characterize and classify the typologies of residential buildings, with specific focus to solar active houses, in the selected climate zones, in order to identify potential adopters of the developed system. The classification will be carried out in terms of construction age, energy efficiency, and country-related characteristics, including architectural configuration, residential unit size and key geometry indicators, type of management system, etc.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
