Abstract
In this paper, the energy performance of a Solar Thermal (ST) façade system is studied
for its connection to a District Heating System. This concept allows for the direct use of
ST heat in the building, while taking profit from the network for delivery/selling of excess
heat and purchase of heat during periods of underproduction. The use of Unglazed
Collectors for low-intrusive architectural interaction in façades is discussed. Studies are
carried out on the heat production of the system and its capacity to cope with local
demands. Economic studies are carried out in order to balance the investment and
operational costs/profits of the system.
