Abstract

A comprehensive energy analysis is reported for the west Azerbaijan gas company sport and cultural complex and swimming pool. Energy analysis are used to characterize the energy losses in the complex and estimate complex energy performance. The primary objectives of this paper are to analyze the west Azerbaijan gas company sport and cultural complex and swimming pool components to identify and quantify the sites having largest energy losses. A computer modeling program using Design builder software is developed to model the complex. The results showed that the main source of the energy losses is the swimming pool due to the surface evaporation. It has been demonstrated that in this specific case the improvement of the sport and cultural complex and swimming pool and the optimization of the performances of the existing systems can reduce energy consumption at least 20% per year and save on costs. Finally, the authors have suggested using the solar PV system for electricity generation and solar flat plate collector for swimming pool water heating in the west Azerbaijan gas company sport and cultural complex.
