Solar thermal energy systems can provide hot water for sanitary use, as well as heating.
In this research, to compute the environmental effect of using solar thermal energy, we
calculate the energy demand of a typical European single-family house, as well as an
apartment block in 10 different cities in different climatic conditions. Then with using the
F-chart method, the energy production of this system throughout the year will be
calculated. Life cycle assessment of the solar thermal system provides us the amount of
emission produced per supplied energy by the system. Calculation shows that the emission per kWh of thermal energy highly depends on the longitude of the installation point
and demand.
