- W2346384583 abstract "Bhutan is one of the highest per capita users of firewood in the world. Firewood and electricityare the most common methods for heating in Bhutan and both methods suffer from drawbacks.Bhutan’s capitol, Thimphu, lies some 2500 meters above sea level and has cold winters withclear skies. These facts are the base for this report’s investigation of the potential to use solarthermal energy to mitigate the use of firewood and electricity for heating.Fieldwork and interviews were carried out in areas in and around Thimphu. Two models weremade; one for a typical rural house, heated with firewood, and one for a typical urban apartmentcomplex, heated with electricity.The rural house was modeled as a two story building with one family living on each floor. Theurban apartment complex was modeled as a four story building with four apartments on eachfloor for a total of 16 families living in the building.These models were input into the simulation program TRNSYS. A solar thermal system wasoptimized for each house based on performance while trying to keep the system as small aspossible. The effects of this system on the comfort and energy consumption in the rural andurban model were noted.In the rural case a solar thermal system with a solar collector area of 15 m2 and a tank volume of0.65 m3 decreased the firewood usage over a year with 50 % while increasing the comfort level.In the urban case a solar thermal system with a solar collector area of 20 m2 and 0.8 m3 per floor,i.e. 5 m2 and 0.2 m3 per apartment, decreased the use of the electric heater with 44 % whileincreasing the comfort.Several variations to the system and mode of heating were tested and are detailed in the report.It was found that a solar thermal system has a high potential of heating houses in the Thimphuarea. The main obstacle for implementing a solar thermal system is its cost." @default.
