Abstract

The aim of this paper is to evaluate the energy-saving potential of pilot projects for renewable energy buildings integrated with solar water heating systems or ground source heat pump systems. A simple equation based manual calculation method was adopted. Results show that renewable energy application in buildings contributes to a great potential in reducing energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions.
