越来越多的老年人(65岁以上 )，长期的居家护理政策，以及老年人居住的房屋普遍更高的能源需求，将对建筑环境构成能源挑战。这篇论文分析了多代发电技术的好处，重点是北爱尔兰难以供暖的家庭。在没有任何干预的情况下，对代表北爱尔兰住房存量28%的测试房屋和有老年居民的房屋的能源消耗进行了监测。已经开发了一种优化程序来确定多发电技术的最佳组合。所考虑的技术是微型热电联产、热泵和光伏系统，可能集成热能存储系统。提出了基于不同能源关税和技术激励的六种情景。在最好的情况下，与标准能源发电相比，光伏、热泵和热能存储的组合可减少26%的二氧化碳排放，节省80%的能源账单。所需投资约为11,000 GB。在北爱尔兰，到2037年，将有30.7万户家庭(比2012年增加79.1%)拥有老年居民。在较老的住宅中采用多联产技术可以使整个住宅部门的二氧化碳排放量减少8%，可再生能源的发电量增加150 GWh，而不会影响配电网络。
The increasing number of elderly people (over 65 years of age), long-term home care policies and the generally higher energy demand of houses inhabited by elderly people will pose an energy challenge for the built environment. The paper analyses the benefits of poly-generation technologies, focusing on the case of hard to heat homes in Northern Ireland. The energy consumption of a test house that is representative of 28% of Northern Ireland housing stock and of a house with elderly inhabitants has been monitored without any intervention. An optimization procedure has been developed to identify the optimal mix of poly-generation technologies. The technologies considered are micro-combined heat and power, heat pump and photovoltaic systems with possible integration of thermal energy storage systems. Six scenarios based on different energy tariffs and technology incentives have been presented. In the best case scenario, the combination of photovoltaic, heat pump and thermal energy storage provides 26% reduction in carbon dioxide emissions and 80% savings in the energy bill compared to standard energy generation. The investment required would be in the order of £11,000. In Northern Ireland, 307,000 households (79.1% more than in 2012) will have elderly inhabitants by 2037. The adoption of poly-generation technologies in the older housing stock could lead to 8% reduction of carbon dioxide emissions of the entire residential sector, with 150 GWh increase in the electricity generation from renewable energy without affecting the electricity distribution network.
