This work explores the possibility to perform heating and air-conditioning of state of the art building located near Pal-is ill France. For air-conditioning, enhanced compound parabolic solar collectors are used as a heat Source of all adsorption system (methanol/activated carbon). while during winter direct coupling with the building is performed. A model describing the adsorption unit, the solar collectors and the house was used to simulate the performances Of Such all installation. For air-conditioning, thermal comfort is achieved as indoor temperature is kept below 25 degrees C during five consecutive hot days (heat wave effect). contrarily to the case for which only free-cooling during nighttime is used. For heating, the indoor temperature remains below the comfort temperature value by 2 K. Nevertheless, the auxiliary heating need will remain limited so that savings oil electricity or fossil fuel consumption will be possible. (c) 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
