14　Performance of Accommodation using Local energy at Kawasaki in Miyagi, the 2nd report

Abstract

We evaluated the heating, cooling, and thermal storage capacities of “Momo no Yado” in Kawasaki Town, Miyagi Prefecture, Japan, which aims to be a ZEH. The renewable energy equipment used in this accommodation is solar panels, a solar water heater, a wood-fired boiler, and groundwater. For heating, each room maintained more than 20°C and sufficient heating capacity was confirmed. The cooling capacity was sufficient to provide an adequate cooling experience. The thermal storage performance was calculated to be 4.5 MJ/K by calculation and 4.3 MJ/K by theory, which is close to the value obtained.
