The invention relates to a method and apparatus for controlling a hybrid heating and ventilation system of a building, the system comprising a heating and ventilation apparatus (2), solar collectors (3), main energy storage and preheating storage units (14, 15), a heat accumulator (4) and a central control unit (1) for the system. The invention is characterized in that solar energy is utilized in four different ways, i.e. once propylene glycol circulating in the solar collectors (3) has attained the temperature of +8 °C, the thermal energy thereof is used to heat air feed introduced into the heating and ventilation apparatus (2), once propylene glycol is at about +30 °C, the thermal energy thereof is utilized to heat the preheating storage unit (15), once propylene glycol is at a temperature of more than +60 °C, the thermal energy thereof is utilized to heat the main storage unit (14), and once each storage unit (14, 15) has attained the temperature of +80 °C, thermal energy of propylene glycol is passed to a heat accumulator (4) arranged under the building to be utilized for heating incoming air during winter season. |
