本文讨论了一个小型住宅综合热能和雨水储存（ITHERST）系统的设计和中试。该系统的设计和建造的学生作为德克萨斯大学（UT）和慕尼黑工业大学（TUM）团队进入能源部太阳能十项全能2015比赛的一部分。比赛结束后，作为德克萨斯州节能办公室的后续研究项目，我们将伊瑟斯特系统的蓄热部分改造为德克萨斯州奥斯汀的一个试验室设施，以评估其实际可操作性，并对该原型系统的性能进行基准测试。本文总结了系统设计，描述了测试过程和初步结果，总结了报告，讨论了经验教训和未来工作。引用:2017年年度会议，加利福尼亚州长滩，会议论文

This paper discusses the design and pilot testing of an integrated thermal energy and rainwater storage (or ITHERST) system for a small residential house. This system was designed and built by students as part of University of Texas (UT) and Technical University of Munich (TUM) team entry to the Department of Energy Solar Decathlon 2015 competition. After the competition, as a follow-up research project for the Texas State Energy Conservation Office, we retrofitted the thermal storage portion of the ITHERST system to a test house facility in Austin, Texas to evaluate its real-world operability and benchmark the performance of this prototype system. This paper summarizes the system design, describes the testing process and preliminary results, and concludes the report with a discussion on lessons learned and future work.
