Energy-Plus House for the Climatic Conditions of Macedonia

In this paper the Energy-plus house project, functioning under the climate conditions of Macedonia, was presented. On the basis of previous studies carried out for a single-family house, the concept of a fully non-volatile home using solar photovoltaic modules for the operation of the electrical equipment was designed according to "Passive house". The estimates of solar resources of the territory, defined energy input of solar radiation on differently oriented surfaces and selected the optimum tilt angle of PV modules to the horizon were presented for this article. It is shown that the solar modules generated enough electricity to meet the needs of the considered house. At the same time in the summer there is surplus electricity. The calculations presented in this paper were based on the methods of thermodynamics, using MKS EN and DIN standards, the program packages PHPP 2007, as well as the algorithm developed for calculating the amount of solar radiation on differently oriented surfaces.
