使用商用能量分析计算机程序模拟和分析建筑物形状、核心尺寸和地理位置的组合，从而评估水循环热泵（WLHP）系统的热回收和节能潜力。开发了一个建筑模型，该模型使用了典型的建筑内部电气负荷、运行计划、建筑材料、玻璃窗和通风负荷。该模型表明，高达76%（2.8 kWh/ft2）的待排出热量可回收用于建筑内的其他地方。经证明，年供暖和制冷节能高达20%（2.9 kWh/ft2）。没有发现可以将结果推广到其他情况的普遍适用的相关性。关键词:热回收、建筑、热泵、水热泵、计算、耗电量、计算机程序、节能、供暖、制冷、建筑、材料、窗户引用: 研讨会，ASHRAE Trans。1991年，第97卷，第2部分

A commercially available energy-analysis computer program has been used to simulate and analyse combinations of building shape, core size, and geographical location that result in the evaluation of the heat recovery and energy-savings potential of the water-loop heat pump (WLHP) system. A building model was developed that used typical internal electrical building loads, operating schedules, building construction materials, glass windows, and ventilation loads. This model demonstrated that up to 76% (2.8 kWh/ft2) of the heat to be removed can be recovered for use elsewhere in the building. The annual heating and cooling energy savings were demonstrated to be up to 20% (2.9 kWh/ft2). No universally applicable correlations were found to be valid that could generalise the results to other situations.KEYWORDS: heat recovery, buildings, heat pumps, water heat pumps, calculating, electricity consumption, computer programs, energy conservation, heating, cooling, buildings, materials, windows
