For Steel Tech people, embracing sustainability is an act of responsibility towards the environment and society. Their solutions are not only produced in an eco-friendly way, but also contribute to making the world a better place
Main role in the project:
Steel Tech for REHOUSE will implement its innovative and sustainable thermal energy storage solution managed by an intelligent control system on a public housing complex in Margherita di Savoia, the Italian site of the European project. In Details the project which Steel Tech co-operate is designed around a commercial reversible air-to-water heat pump fed by onsite BIPV and connected to a stratified bio-based PCM Thermal Energy Storage (TES) system. These components are governed by a dedicated smart control system leveraging from the use of smart rubber sensors into the distribution pipes and integrated in an overall BIM-oriented platform. Steel Tech will have to build the TES that with the air-to-water heat pump (HP) is the heart of this package as the innovative TES combines latent energy storage (PCM) and thermal stratification in one simple filled tank with different layers of PCM at different phase change temperatures. Moreover, this system can be replicated on other buildings at low cost while the productivity of the renovation process, the improvement of comfort of the building inhabitants and users will increase.
