Academic CentreThe object of the auction - know-how “Methodology for feasibility study of energy efficiency projects for urban heating system” had been developed in the framework of the Latvian Council of Science project lzp-2021/1-0108 (Nr.Z-LZP123-ZR-N-231) “Sustainable management of the urban heating system under EU Fit for 55 package: research and development of the methodology and tool”. The study had been conducted by the Laboratory of Innovative Information Technologies of the Faculty of Computing of University of Latvia (UL), the Institute of Numerical Modelling of the Faculty of Physics, Mathematics and Optometry (UL) and the Scientific Institute of Economics and Management of the Faculty of Business, Management and Economics (UL).
General information.
The described easy-to-use methodology is intended for sustainable management of the urban heating system reconstruction program and for regular evaluation of building renovation and heating system reconstruction projects in order to create a comprehensive dynamic vision of progress. The proposed methodology allows a quick and at the same time accurate and objective analysis of the potential and benefits of the different building renovation depths and corresponding heating system renovation variants in a given area during the pre-design stage, as well as aggregate them according to their efficiency. A limited number of open indicators are used; the use of the methodology does not require special knowledge in the field of thermal physics, economics, information technology and/or construction. The developed methodology shows (1) the achievable heat consumption and primary energy savings, (2) the dominant reduction in CO2 emissions, (3) changes in tariffs and heating costs, and (4) the necessary investments.
