5. Thermal storage and Smartbuild The group that rehabilitated and developed the Klosterenga property in Oslo did focus on making an eco-efficient apartment complex integrating various solutions, including a roof mounted solar collector and a thermal storage tank with water. The group was less concerned with minimising costs than finding environmentally sound solutions. However, in spite of this lack of narrow economic focus, all apartments had been sold before rehabilitation was finished and people could move in. It was obviously the total concept with its green profile that attracted buyers, and not the choice of conventional design and cheap solutions (Monsen, 2002). Perhaps does the field of environmentally friendly buildings have too many bean counters, macro economists, and cost effective engineers, and too few visionaries? Leaders who motivate and inspire change are especially important tools to facilitate eco-industrial development. An open mind, a belief in science and technology and a sense of vision are vital. The application of thermal energy storage methods will be of most interest in connection with integration of several sources of energy together with various technological solutions e.g. waste heat recovery in combination with heat pumps. Such hybrid systems can replace or supplement conventional solutions for space heating and cooling based on electricity and/or fossil fuels. Thermal storage can be used both for air-based systems (ventilation) and hydronic comfort systems. Thermal storage concepts are therefore not an isolated technology with regard to Smartbuild, but development will depend on to which degree other actors in Smartbuild are interested in multi-source hybrid comfort systems. However, we believe that Smartbuild will loose some of its long-term vision if the work is concentrated on development and extension of today’s common practice and well known technology. Smartbuild should leave room and opportunity for playing with new ideas and untraditional solutions, and not stop such activities by making comments such as: “It’s too expensive” or “It’s too difficult”. Playing 100 per cent safe at all times will not lead to progress! 22PDF Image | Thermal Energy Storage A State-of-the-Art
