Environmental management of a building using an analisys between two systems of air conditioning hydronic fed by geotermic and an air-air system

Abstract

In the following research, a comparative analysis between two air conditioning systems will be made. One is going to overview an air-air conditioning system and the other one an hydronic system fed by geothermic energy thanks constant temperatures of hearth. For this research a protected building has been chosen, placed in the centre of Madrid. It is the old military building Daoiz y Velarde, refurbished into a children¿s theatre and cultural space. The choice made for this building has been made due to the fact that working in a safe building makes it easier to draw comparative analyzes. The structure and the frontage can't be modified, therefore the research should start from the conditions found from the beginning. Finally, it has to be adapted to the C.T of the building, taking in consideration some of the specific requirements for cultural and children¿s spaces. For those analyses, we have to take in account the optimal conditions that a building requires in choosing the most appropriate air conditioning system for the environment (e.g. temperature, humidity and different parameters depending on the user) An informatic tool for the analysis of life cycle, materials, energies, waste etc., should be used for both air conditioning systems. The aim of this research is to find out and demonstrate which of the systems has lower pollution, a global view of the whole Life cycle, extraction of raw materials, construction and earthworks, use and also to consider waste. Ultimately, in this research we want to gain a global vision of the whole life cycle, called for the cradle to the grave. This includes, from the production of the raw materials which makes up the machinery, to the transport of equipment. The energetic consumption during the installation, energetic consumption during using face and the last elimination of waste will also be taken into account.
