Abstract :The savings of solar energy installations are often disputed with respect to money, energy and emissions. In order to give a better insight, the various processes related to the production and operation of a large solar heating system are investigated. Material masses and operation data were obtained from a big housing project which we had planned and which is in operation; energies required and emissions were taken from literature.
Keywords : solar heating, cumulative energy consumption, cumulative emission
