Social blocks complex from Alba Iulia, includes 3 identical blocks (ground floor + 4 floors) constructed in 2013. Blocks have a reinforced concrete structure, autoclaved aerated concrete bricks for walls, 10 cm insulation and double blazed windows/ doors. Each block has 25 apartments and is hosting about 70 tenants.
Blocks are connected to electricity (3 x 400 Vac, 50 Hz), water and gas networks. Heating is ensured by one 100 kW boiler (one is also back-up) for each block, and DHW by boiler and a 24-panel solar thermal system (tube/ heat – pipe model). Each apartment has analogue (manual readings) meters (electricity, gas, cold/ hot water, heating). Tenants are paying directly gas and electricity to distribution companies, and through association and meters, water, hot water and heating. As tenants are in many cases social cases, energy costs are of high importance and impact. As solar thermal systems were not working anymore, based on an Interreg project pilot (Social Green, 2022) the thermal solar system for hot water was refurbished, together with main components and storage/ exchange tank, but just for the first block, which was also a case for testing smart home system in few apartments and subject to a monitoring system (Innovation Norway Doitsmarter project; meters for gas consumption, energy production by boilers and solar system and electricity consumed at power plant level). Refurbished solar system demonstrated an important contribution for providing hot water (> 30%/ year) and monitoring revealed possible further optimisation.
Currently, is important to refurbish the thermal solar systems in the rest of 2 blocks and to include monitoring systems at least at power plants level. Other solutions, including PV systems (about 10 kW/ block, considering the available roof surface), or heat pumps can be analysed. Energy community can be considered directly for each block and for the complex, but considering the technical restrains, possible supplementary production of energy especially during summer, can be considered just for electricity, in case of installing PV systems.
