N2 - To realize the goal of net zero energy building (NZEB), the integration
of renewable energy and novel design of buildings is needed. The paths
of energy demand reduction and additional energy supply with renewables
are separated. In this study, those two are merged into one integration.
The concept is based on the combination of photovoltaic, thermoelectric
modules, energy storage and control algorithms. Five types of building
envelope systems, namely PV+TE (S1), Grid+TE (S2), PV+Grid+TE (S3),
PV+Battery+TE (S4) and PV+Grid+Battery+TE (S5) are studied, from aspects
of energy, economic and environmental (E3) performance. The
new envelope systems can achieve thermal load reduction while providing
additional cooling/heating supply, which can promote advance of NZEBs.
It is found that there is a typical optimum setting of thermal energy
load for each one of them with minimum annual power consumption. Except
for the S1 system, the rest can realize negative accumulated power
consumption in a year-round operation, which means the thermal load of
building envelope could be zero. The uniform annual cost for S1 to S5
under interest rate of 0.04 are 19.78, 14.77, 23.83, 60.53, 64.94 $/m2, respectively. The S5 system has the highest environmental effect with 3.04 t/m2 reduction of CO2 over 30 years of operation.
