Años meteorológicos típicos y su influencia en la simulación energética de edificios en regiones con microclimasel caso de Galicia

Abstract

In this thesis, the influence of the type of Typical Meteorological Year (AMT) on the results of the energy simulation of buildings and other solar thermal facilities has been studied. The work carried out is focused on the residential sector, and in particular on single‐family homes. The study region is limited to the Community of Galicia, whose geographical position and orography confer the singularity of the existence of a variety of microclimates. The data used comes from the historical records of the terrestrial meteorological stations (Xunta de Galicia) managed by MeteoGalicia, and from three meteorological satellite databases. Reference climate files based on Typical Meteorological Years generated according to three of the most recognized methods, as well as a fourth comparative reference method, have been elaborated step by step. 43 climatic files were validated for each method using the Energy Plus™, DOE 2.2™ and TRNSYS™ calculation engines, and energy simulations were carried out on a representative sample of typical single‐family homes and a solar thermal installation for the production of DHW. Finally, comparative statistical studies were carried out, as well as the geographical representation of results.
