In the HVAC sector, new technologies are commonplace

03.10.2016

The terms green, sustainable buildings with zero energy consumption "are new to the general public and for most of those involved in the investment process. Everything new and it comes with a wide range of legal documents which clear which ones are not. They are incomprehensible because they are related terms for environment, climate, quality of living, performance and microclimate parameters, the limit concentrations nuisance and others.
All this terminology and stuff is part of vocational training of specialists "Heating, ventilation and air conditioning". The graduated engineers in this specialty are supposed to this arrising "new tendency" to be obeyed their work available in Bulgaria, according to the world and published regulations.

So far the market reality in Bulgaria had tolerated the term "cheaper" as the main criterion in assessing the competitive developments. This led to lower quality and neglect the available potentsial. The process of training of the non specialists on this matter will take time and money.
The implementation of projects under the new requirements will be difficult at first task because the examiners as certified professionals will need to be trained to understand the essence of the problem and last but not least - to radically change the scheme of assessment of competitive developments.
After the crisis should pay attention to professionalism, to admirable designers and collectives the done so far buildings and installations in Bulgaria that much ahead of this "globally emerging trend." In Bulgaria there are many interesting examples worth to display. They have proven themselves in the years.In the field of heating, ventilation and air conditioning new technologies are common to arrise very often.

First I would put powerful software for energy analysis of the design solution. Powerful and necessary tool in the hands of very experienced designers, as will now be imposed on all colleagues to develop many variants of their projects, and to compare the performance of "energy cost", "primary energy", "analysis of the emission savings harmful substances into the atmosphere "," quality of indoor air living "and many others.

Not accidentally pointed out as a necessary requirement designer have a lot of experience, proven in practice. Development of schemes decision for each site is creative and individual task. Mandatory condition is the designer is very familiar with the latest developments of leading global and local manufacturers, traveling in international exhibitions, attend company presentations, request information from the network.
In the hardware the need is to work more to improve the heat transformers by increasing the type known as heat pumps based on any type of low potential energy source. Systems for heat recovery from ventilation systems will continue to improve towards more compact and more efficient. Systems utilizing solar energy - heat and light will be perfected in the direction of cheaper, more secure and more efficient.

Accessory requirements in 2020 that buildings will have an energy consumption close to zero sounds like a wish. This can be achieved experimentally in a single free-standing building, perhaps of an apartment and a floor. It will resemble in shape something like a bunker outside unattractive and very comfortable maybe inside. Maybe someone will feel something like a sterile environment. It will be a huge contrast with reality, such as the building where the man labors and unique, where he lives. To type of buildings like Malls, office buildings will rise further requirements for reduced consumption and the ability to transfer waste heat flows between separate buildings with different functions and mode of use.
The problem with training of specialists on this issue is very serious. To make a project of building, involving many different specialists in different areas. Level all have proven highly and experience over the years. Taking into account the fact that so far in the curricula of Bulgarian universities this matter isnot partially affected, the hope is that for first time there will be a training of existing designers through courses, seminars and conferences. Young professionals will come on the eve of 2020, but they will have experience and will have to fit into the work as proven consultants.

I personally am optimistic against the background of achievement made and what we do now in "Termosyst." We are prepared for new problems, even currently working on a similar project abroad. Optimizing energy in an object is a fundamental task in all our sites for more than 20 years.
