The decisions made during conceptual building design irreversibly influence the selection and dimensions of thermal energy generation and storage components and systems. A method to quantify this influence is developed. It consists of the quasi-stationary simulation and the design optimization of the system. Demonstrated on seven preconfigured systems the method is used to propose a tool that, using data available at the conceptual design stage, provides dimensions, costs, energy consumption and emissions of the optimized system to architects.
