Partition control model and application to an electrically heated residential house

With the increasing environmental problems, the problem of high heating energy consumption in residential dwellings in winter is urgent to solve. To fulfill the requirements of energy-saving and thermal comfort simultaneously, this paper proposed different partition heating schemes and simulated their energy consumptions with DeST and TRNSYS. The results indicated that the partition-controlled heating program that preheating 1 h in advance was the most energy-saving, with an energy-saving rate of 14.13%.
