IMPROVING THERMAL STABILITY AND REDUCTION OF ENERGY CONSUMPTION BY IMPLEMENTING TROMBE WALL CONSTRUCTION IN THE PROCESS OF BUILDING DESIGN: THE SERBIA REGION

ABSTRACT
This paper analyzes the impact of Trombe Wall construction on heating and cooling demands of building with form (rectangular single-storey building of about one hundred square meters area) which is common for individual residential buildings in the Republic of Serbia. Trombe wall, as a representative of a passive solar design, was installed on the south wall of the building. Model of the building was made in the Google SketchUp software, while the results of energy performance were obtained using EnergyPlus and jEplus. Parameters of thermal comfort and climatic data for the area of city of Belgrade, Republic of Serbia, were taken into account. Coverage of the south façade was varied, as well as the thickness of the thermal mass and orientation. Energy consumption of the object is discussed, based on obtained results of the analysis. According to comparative analysis of the above mentioned models it can be concluded that the application of the Trombe wall structure on south side may lead to savings of 33% on heating, but also the higher energy consumption for cooling. Total energy consumption on an annual basis is reduced by using this system.
