A home is heated with propane with a
100,000 BTU furnace size and 95%
efficiency. The monthly heating degree
days is 5000. Using the energy estimation
discussed in this chapter, estimate the
monthly and annual gas consumption to
heat the building if the home is to be kept
68°F.
For a building located in Madrid, Spain with annual heating degree-days (dd) of 4654, a heating load (heat loss) of 30,000 kj/h, and a design temperature difference of 30° C (20° C indoor), estimate the annual energy consumption. If the building is heated with a furnace with an efficiency of 92%, how muchgas is burned to keep the home at 20° C? State your assumptions.

Consider the system described in the news: at night, when there is energy left, water is pumped from a large lake to a reservoir at 80 m above the lake level. During the day, this water is used to generate energy in a turbine located 80 m below the elevated reservoir. Considering that the water flow is always 5000 liters/s (both at the inlet of the reservoir and at the outlet) and that the pump and turbine efficiencies are 70%, what is the power (in kW) required by the pump and the power (in kW) recovered in the turbine.
