According to statistical data from EU, installations of solar hot water heating systems have been increased gradually. The purpose of this study is to illustrate quantitatively the feasibility of optimal space and water heating system using solar energy. The house is assumed to be located in çesme, Turkey, where 1304 kWh/m2-year of solar radiation for the period of 2734 h/year is measured. Considering the space heating and hot water demand in this geographic location, solar collector and storage capacity are optimized using f-Chart method. The results showed that a 92% of the total energy demand can be covered by solar energy. © Renewable Energy Research, 2017.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessF-Chart MethodHeating SystemOptimizationSolar SpaceTurkeyHeating EquipmentHistoric PreservationHot Water Distribution SystemsSolar EnergySpace HeatingWaterBuilding EnvelopesF-Chart MethodHeating SystemIn-BuildingsOptimisationsSolar Hot WaterSolar SpacesSolar WatersTurkeyWater Heating SystemsDigital StorageArticle2-s2.0-8504435866618154Q318077
