Research Project

Chenjue’s project aims to decarbonise domestic buildings by utilising solar energy to replace fossil fuels for residential electricity and heating supply. Using the software TRNSYS, she modelled the annual electricity, heating and hot water demands of a single-family house in Newcastle and designed a photovoltaic-thermal solar-assisted heat pump system with thermal storage to cover a significant part of these demands.
