Conversion Systems

Data about carbon accounting of building energy supply systems are stored in ..db/CH/Systems/supply_systems.xls. The data are classified in a spreadsheet according the next type of energy services attended.

  • dhw: domestic hot water.
  • heating: Single Dwelling Unit.
  • cooling: space cooling.
  • electricity: space cooling.

The spreadsheet ARCHITECTURE relates architecture properties of buildings to a building category. It contains the next attributes:

Variable Type Unit Description Valid Values Ref.
Code string - code of type of main energy supply system (e.g., solar collector, natural gas in district heating network etc.) T0,T1,T2,...Tn
PEN float MJ-oil/m2.yr Non-renewable Primary energy factor (only fossil fuels contribution) (0.0.....4) [1]
CO2 float kg CO2-eq/m2.yyr CO22 equivalent emissions factor (only fossil fuels contribution) (0.0.....0.2) [1]
