Statistics show that the residential and service sectors consume a large amount of the total generated energy in every country, most of which is spent for space and water heating. Solar water heater (SWH) as a recently developed technique can be used for supplying most of the energy consumption which is necessary to be considered for social and economic development and continuously improving the quality of life. Practical measures of SWH for space and water heating have not been developed enough and no feasibility study has been conducted on the subject in Lebanon. To do so, using the energy software such METEOSYN and TSOL as very important pre-fabrication tools for the simulation, modelling and analysis of every management applications for energy development-based systems, we study the potential of using domestic-scale SWHs in residential apartments at 2 stations in Lebanon. The results show that Tripoli station, which supplies 37.8% of its total heating needs, is more suitable than Riyaq, which could provide for 32.1% of its total needs. The results also demonstrate that both stations produce 2915.7 kWh for space heating and 5403.7 kWh for water heating annually using SWH. This method prevent the emission of 2.4 tons of CO2 pollutant gas annually based on fossil fuels. Manuscript profile
