Abstract


This paper compares the exergy efficiency of panel heating system using different energy sources such as natural gas and geothermal heat pump. The analysis is performed on a CAD model of the family building, located in Kragujevac, Serbia with different heating systems such as floor panels, wall panels, ceiling panels and floor-ceiling panels. The operation of these panels is simulated by software EnergyPlus, product of Lawrence Berkley Laboratory in USA. This research is a part of the project "Development of a net-zero-energy building“.

Key words: exergy efficiency, radiant panel, heat pump, energy consumption, EnergyPlus, ground heat source.
