31 4. Conclusions Two different (trigenera0on) hea0ng and cooling systems, have been simulated and economically evaluated. A typical apartment block located in Crete, Greece was considered and it was the basis for the calcula0on of the hea0ng/cooling loads. ORC- VCC : beser economic performance due to lower capital cost despite the lower net annual income due to low electric efficiency (2.5%) PV- HP : The higher net annual income does not compensate for the higher capital cost The tri/cogenera0on systems presented were found cost compe00ve against the conven0onal cooling and oil hea0ng technologies. Results strongly dependent on electricity selling price of technologies 31
