Adsorption chiller operation by recovering low-temperature heat from building integrated photovoltaic thermal collectors: Modelling and simulation

In order to show the potentiality of the developed simulation model, several new case studies are developed. They refer to a 3-floor office building located in four different Italian weather zones. Simulation results show that the obtained SPBs, the primary energy saving for electricity and domestic hot water production, and the equivalent carbon dioxide avoided emissions range between 10.6-11.3 years, 58.5-68.8% and 76.3-90.2%, respectively.
