This delicate phase contains the greatest opportunity to achieve the high energy performance buildings after refurbishment. It is therefore important to provide the pertinent energy performance information for the designers or decision-makers from multidisciplinary and comparative points of view. This paper investigates the renovation concept of a novel loop-heat-pipe based solar thermal facade (LHP-STF) installed on a reference residential building by technical evaluation and economic analysis in three typical European climates, including North Europe (represented by Stockholm), West Europe (represented by London) and South Europe (represented by Madrid). The aim of this paper is firstly to explore the LHP-STF&#39;s sensitivity with regards to the overall building socio-energy performance and secondly to study the LHP-STF&#39;s economic feasibility by developing a dedicated business model. The reference building model was derived from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) commercial buildings research, in which the energy data for the building models were from the ASHRAE codes and other standard practices. The financial data were collected from the European statistic institute and the cost of system was based on the manufactured prototype. Several critical financial indexes were applied to evaluate the investment feasibility of the LHP-STF system in building renovation, such as Payback Period (PP), Net Present Value (NPV), and the modified internal rate of return method (IRR). Four common investment options were considered in this business model, including buying outright (BO), buying by instalment (BI), energy efficiency funding (EEF) and power purchase agreement (PPA).The research results indicate that the LHP-STF could contribute to the hot water load throughout the year with substantially reduced heating load in winter, and yet a slight increased cooling load in summer. Among four investment options, the BO was considered as the best investment method with the highest NPV, IRR and the shortest payback period. With regards to relatively limited solar resources, London was found to be the best place for investment with the highest economical revenues and an attractive payback period of less than four years for all purchase options. Although Madrid has the richest solar resource, this system has the lowest economic profit and the longest payback period. This outcome confirms that the renewable energy incentives have a higher impact than solar resources on current solar thermal facade technologies under such pricing fundamentals. This multidisciplinary research is expected to be helpful for the strategic decisions at the early design stage for building renovation with the proposed system and further promote development of solar driven service system, leading to the savings in fossil fuel consumption and reduction in carbon emission.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h3 class=&quot;subtitle&quot; style=&quot;background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #363636; font-family: &amp;quot;Open Sans&amp;quot;, sans-serif; font-size: 1.5em; line-height: 1.125; margin: 0px 0px 1.5rem; padding: 0px; word-break: break-word;&quot;&gt;Citation&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;description&quot; style=&quot;background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #4a4a4a; font-family: &amp;quot;Open Sans&amp;quot;, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;The early design stage for building renovation with a novel loop-heat-pipe based solar thermal facade (LHP-STF) heat pump water heating system: Techno-economic analysis in three European climates&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;description&quot; style=&quot;background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #4a4a4a; font-family: &amp;quot;Open Sans&amp;quot;, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://albareynoso.blogspot.com/feeds/1000062911776504435/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://albareynoso.blogspot.com/2022/04/the-early-design-stage-for-building.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/1114578004074794081/posts/default/1000062911776504435'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/1114578004074794081/posts/default/1000062911776504435'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://albareynoso.blogspot.com/2022/04/the-early-design-stage-for-building.html' title='The early design stage for building renovation with a novel loop-heat-pipe based solar thermal facade (LHP-STF) heat pump water heating system: Techno-economic analysis in three European climates'/><author><name>Micah Costa</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13392553755784934826</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1114578004074794081.post-5987688921995702690</id><published>2022-04-28T23:39:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2022-04-28T23:39:15.749-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Female writers, directors take the spotlight at SATE&#39;s 6th Aphra Behn Festival</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;S&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;ATE returns to live, in-person performance with the sixth annual &lt;a href=&quot;https://lelylifestyles.com/&quot;&gt;Aphra Behn Festival&lt;/a&gt;, to be presented April 29-May 1 at the Centene Center for the Arts.

And Lewy’s “The Super Fun Time Party Palace” takes a look at the downside of parenthood.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;hidden-print &quot; style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box;&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;lee-article-text&quot; style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px auto; max-width: 760px;&quot;&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Georgia, serif; line-height: 1.7em; margin: 0px 0px 20px;&quot;&gt;“Go Before I Do” is set in a bar in a nightlife district. McIntire says the play reflects her experience of moving from a small town to a big city. Among the themes it touches on, she says, is coming to grips with the fact that “things aren’t always greener on the other side.”&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;lee-article-text&quot; style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px auto; max-width: 760px;&quot;&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Georgia, serif; line-height: 1.7em; margin: 0px 0px 20px;&quot;&gt;Each play receives a full production, Schwetye says, but one that’s “maybe just lighter on some of the scenic elements” because of practical considerations involved in producing three different plays per night.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;hidden-print &quot; style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box;&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;lee-article-text&quot; style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px auto; max-width: 760px;&quot;&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Georgia, serif; line-height: 1.7em; margin: 0px 0px 20px;&quot;&gt;Aside from presenting new plays by women, the festival also helps to focus attention on its namesake. Behn, who died in 1689 at age 48, is believed to be the first Englishwoman to make her living as a playwright. Schwetye says her introduction to Behn’s work was the 1677 play “The Rover.”&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;hidden-print &quot; style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box;&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;lee-article-text&quot; style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px auto; max-width: 760px;&quot;&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Georgia, serif; line-height: 1.7em; margin: 0px 0px 20px;&quot;&gt;Behn, who is among the female authors cited in Virginia Woolf’s classic essay “A Room of One’s Own,” was also a notable poet, prose writer and translator.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;lee-article-text&quot; style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px auto; max-width: 760px;&quot;&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Georgia, serif; line-height: 1.7em; margin: 0px 0px 20px;&quot;&gt;“She was a first of her kind,” Schwetye says. “So we decided to name the festival after her.”&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 20px; line-height: 1.7em; margin: 0px 0px 20px;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://albareynoso.blogspot.com/feeds/5987688921995702690/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://albareynoso.blogspot.com/2022/04/female-writers-directors-take-spotlight.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/1114578004074794081/posts/default/5987688921995702690'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/1114578004074794081/posts/default/5987688921995702690'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://albareynoso.blogspot.com/2022/04/female-writers-directors-take-spotlight.html' title='Female writers, directors take the spotlight at SATE&#39;s 6th Aphra Behn Festival'/><author><name>Micah Costa</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13392553755784934826</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
