Abstract:
In the modern world today, the significant part of the total energy consumption is related to the building, so research and development of methods for improving energy efficiency in buildings are very important. A significant part of energy consumption in buildings relates to building ventilation. A hybrid ventilation system employs both, the natural and mechanical ventilation, at different times of the day. High energy savings can be achieved with heat recovery mechanical ventilation system, by using the special type of heat exchangers (HEs) - air-to-air heat exchangers. This paper presents a method of modeling the hybrid ventilation system in buildings by using EnergyPlus software. One illustrative example is provided.
