Building-Integrated Thermal Energy Systems (BITES) Professor Ian Beausoleil-Morrison Mr Chris Weissflog
BITES Focus on low-rise MURBs. Design and optimization of integrated energy system : Passive solar architecture. High-performance envelope. Multi-function heat pumps. Heat recovery. Geothermal storage. Control strategies. Goal : NZER performance at 10-year economic payback.
Year 1 : Year 2 : Team structure : Analyze performance of prototype and identify opportunities for improving design. Develop design of HRV. Develop design alternatives for heat pump. Year 2 : Fabricate and test HRV prototype. Optimize HRV design. Develop detailed design for heat pump. Team structure : HRV Heat pumps Controls Energy performance
