N2 - This Summary Report summarises and presents the contents
of the Guidebook, which is included here in CD-ROM
format. The Guidebook is meant to help engineering
offices, consultants and architects in their search for
energy efficient heating and cooling systems that can
provide the occupants with comfortable, clean and healthy
environment. In addition, some background information is
offered for real estate builders, building maintenance
managers, political decision makers and the public at
large. The Guidebook is available as a CD-rom version and
also freely available on the internet
(http://www.lowex.net/).
Exergy defines the quality of energy and is an important
tool for designing and assessing different heating and
cooling systems. In Annex 37, 'low exergy(LowEx) systems'
are defined as heating or cooling systems that allow the
use of low valued energy as the energy source. In
practice, this means systems that provide heating or
cooling energy at a temperature close to room
temperature. Low temperature heating systems or high
temperature cooling systems that are suitable for office
buildings, service buildings and residential buildings,
can use a variety of fuels and renewable energy sources.
These systems use energy efficiently while providing a
comfortable indoor climate. They should be widely
implemented now in order to create possibility to use
sustainable energy sources in the near future.
