Photovoltaic Energy Usage for Public Educational Building: A Case Study

Abstract

This work presents a case study of a photovoltaic energy system for public educational building. The aim of the case under consideration is to provide technical measures to improve the energy efficiency of the building, according to the technical specification and current regulations. Public educational buildings are mainly used during daylight hours, where solar power will be used for own consumption. Analysis of the energy usage for public building is made and an estimation on a daily basis shows optimal requirements for such systems. Achieved results could be used in the design process of public buildings autonomous electric power supply systems, zero energy building and near zero energy building concepts.
