Sustainable Heating For Kuujjuaq Forum, Nunavik: Data Analysis And Development Of An Energy Model

This dataset is part of a research project on the Kuujjuaq Forum, a multi-activity building in Kuujjuaq (Nunavik). The first objective of this study was to analyze unprecedented energy consumption data for a building with a solar power generation system in subarctic conditions. The second objective was to develop an energy model to assess the feasibility, potential and benefits of a solar-assisted ground-coupled heat pump (SAGCHP) installation. The 'Forum_General_Information' folder contains Excel files detailing the building's heating oil consumption, mechanical equipment and operational information, pictures and simplified building plans. 'GHE_Sizing' folder contains an Excel file summarizing a list of GHE designs generated to supply different heat loads (air preheating, air terminal heating, and total ventilation heating). The 'TRNSYS_Model' folder includes TRNSYS files (.b18, .bld, .dck, etc.) of the building model, GHE model, and photovoltaic panels model, along with Excel files summarizing results such as annual heat loads profiles, solar production profiles, and a 25-year simulation of the GHE system. This folder also includes an analysis of SAGCHP performance. The 'Economic_and_GHG_Analysis' folder includes Excel files summarizing results on greenhouse gas (GHG) and energy cost savings and a 25-year economic analysis. In this folder, the Excel files 'analysis_eco_calculsheet' and 'analysis_eco_resultsheet' are called by the Python script 'NPC_sensibility_analysis_capex' (Python 3.12 version). All these documents were used to prepare the paper entitled 'Sustainable Heating For A Non-Residential Building In Kuujjuaq: Field Data Analysis And Development Of An Energy Model' (Thermo, MDPI, to be submitted).
