Evaluation of Multi-Functional Variable Refrigerant Flow System with Thermal Energy Storage and Photovoltaic-Based Distributed System for Net-Zero Energy Home Design
Efficient heating and cooling systems and renewable energy sources are crucial for effectively designing net-zero energy homes (NZEHs). The study proposes using a multi-functional variable refrigerant flow system with hydraulic heat recovery (MFVRF-H2R) to reduce HVAC and hot water energy usage, offering a practical approach to enable NZEH solutions. Photovoltaic (PV)-based on-site power generation is utilized to achieve zero-energy performance in residential buildings. A building energy simulation study is conducted to assess the effectiveness of the combined systems in various climate conditions. To develop the simulation model, the US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)'s net-zero energy residential test facility is used as the benchmark for NZEH baseline models. The MFVRF-H2R system is incorporated into the NZEH baseline to propose a more-energy efficient design with heat recovery technology. eQUEST and post-processing calculations are used to simulate NZEH performance, comparing whole-building energy end-use and PV capacity for the baseline and alternative models with MFVRF-H2R. Results demonstrate that the proposed VRF-based NZEH design can provide potential energy savings of up to 32% for cooling energy under various climate zones. Moreover, the NZEH design with the proposed MFVRF-H2R can achieve up to a 90% reduction in domestic hot water usage compared to an NZEH design without VRF heat recovery technology. The study suggests that the MFVRF-H2R system can provide practical and realistic solutions for making HVAC energy-efficient by minimizing thermal waste and reusing it for other thermal parts of the building, such as hot water applications. Consequently, this study highlights the effectiveness of the MFVRF-H2R system in designing NZEHs while considering heat recovery and renewable energy technologies.
