Solar heating and cooling of commercial buildings

Solar heating and cooling technologies are eco-friendly systems which use solar energy to heat water which later is used for domestic purposes or for controlling the air temperature within dwellings. Between 40-60pc of the average household electricity costs are used for water and air heating. By adopting solar heating and cooling at its full potential, one can save up to 50pc from yearly utility bills. This research examines how UK schools can deploy solar heating and cooling technologies to decrease the amount of energy consumption used by traditional heating systems.
