Shifting from combustion to sustainable for high-rise buildings (>10 apartments)
The challenge
The number of people living in urban areas is continuously increasing in the recent years.
As a consequence, the higher demand for living space makes the collective building sector grow in the future cities. The building sector plays a significant role for the energy consumption and it represents 40% of energy used in the EU.
New European Directives are driving the efficiency of modern buildings in order to reach future goals. In this perspective, heat pumps play a key role to achieve these goals not only in single dwellings but also in apartment buildings.
Daikin, innovation leader for more than 90 years, takes the challenge in collective housing to apply full renewable solutions based on in-house developed heat pump technologies. From low to high-rise apartment buildings, from individual to centralized heating systems, from retrofit to new built, Daikin has the products, the experience and the solution for you.
Practical concerns
The use of renewable energy sources in collective application is restricted due to practical concerns.
Daikin integrated solutions for collective housing
To provide apartment buildings and collective housing with sustainable and high energy performance heating equipment, Daikin combines Applied and Residential Heating products to offer an integrated system that easily overcomes the practical concerns in high-rise buildings.
Using the Applied EWYT-B as a central heat pump unit connecting to multiple indoor units Daikin Altherma 3 WS can ensure heating/cooling comfort, hot sanitary water and individual temperature control to the individual dwellings.
This system can also be completed with a wide and flexible range of Daikin emitters (Underfloor Heating, heat pump convectors) which allow the customer to choose the emitter he wants for his apartment.
Furthermore, it can perform highly efficient simultaneous operations for heating, cooling, and domestic hot water thanks to heat recovery effect among the apartments.Because of this, annual CO2 emissions can be significantly reduced compared to conventional boilers.
