In the summary of results, the CO₂ emissions saved by the solar system are calculated. To perform this calculation, it is necessary to determine the type of primary energy saved by the solar system. TSOL® uses emission factors based on the energy source to calculate the CO₂ emissions of a heating system. The following emission factors are utilized in TSOL®:
Energy Source | Heating Value | Emission Factor |
---|---|---|
Oil | 36722 kJ/l | 7.32748 g CO₂/kJ |
Gas | 41100 kJ/m³ | 5.14355 g CO₂/kJ |
District Heating | 5.14355 g CO₂/kJ | |
Wood Pellet | 15490 kJ/kg | CO₂-neutral |
