Introduction Possibility of building a completely non-volatile buildings is relevant to Macedonia, where low population density is far away from the centralized energy networks areas. The concept is based on the statement to reduce heating costs to zero and achieve constant comfortable temperatures owing to efficient thermal insulation and impermeability of a building s envelope, any home heat recovery and passive solar heating.

Ekaterina Aronova et al. / Procedia Engineering 117 ( 2015 ) 766 774 767 Fig. 1. Basic components of the «Passive house»concept. The report for the project in this article Energy-plus house has taken the concept of "passive house", supplemented by the possibility of electricity based on solarenergy. The basic assessment criteria whether the building meets the standard passive house are as follows: alternative: heating/cooling load (HL)/(CL) 10W/m2]; air impermeability 0.6 h-1]; specific kwh/(m2a)] and the emission of CO2. [1] The rate of 15 kw / (m² per year) is the typical one in matter of energy consumption needed to heat a «passive house» under weather conditions of Central Europe. In Stockholm it can reach 20 kw / (m² per year), and in Rome it can t be over 10 kw / (m² per year). 2. Object of research The macro location of the building falls in the eastern part of Macedonia, at an altitude of 600m and is located on a plateau. The architecture of the house has been taken from the famous house of Franz Freundorfer (Fig. 2). Fig. 2. Facade of the analyzedbuilding

Dimensions of the insulation, windows and all other elements were defined to meet the criteria for a passive house and in same time to be as close as possible to the limit values for the Passive House (PH) standard. Comparison of the final calculation results with the maximum values defined by the Passive House standard is presented in Tab. 1 [1, 5]. Table 1.

The calculation results clearly show that there is a need additional heating device which will produce an additional 171 W. In the case of conventional energy sources, emissions of carbon dioxide from the heating system is 9 kg/(m 2 a) while the total emission is 19 kg/(ma). Building, that are using only the solar energy, will be a CO2-neutral. Previously developed project standards of "passive house" is proposed to add energy-based photovoltaic modules. 4. Influence of the building orientation The orientation of the building has direct impact on the energy balance of the passive building. The initial orientation (south of the house was rotated by steps of 30 clockwise and the results of PHPP 2007 for each of the defined positions of the house are presented in the Tab. 2. Table 2.

Calculation of the incoming solar energy The territory of Macedonia is rich of the solar resources, which confirms the insolation map of the country, shown in Fig. 3 Meteorological observations conducted from April 2004 to March 2010, showed that almost all of the country's annual influx of solar energy is more than 1400 kwh/m², and for some areas is 1600 kwh/m². Therefore, the use of solar photovoltaic modules and systems based on them is relevant and energyefficient way to produce additional electricity for Passive house. Solution of the task of placement of photovoltaic modules on the ground is based on the correct definition of the angle of inclination to the horizontal surface of the modules, for optimal security features of electricity (at a given orientation modules to the south, in accordance with the locationof the house). Tab. 3 below presents data on the amount of solar radiation on surfaces inclined at different angles to the weather conditions, the Skopje with coordinates 41 59'N, 21 26'E [8]. Fig. 3. Global horizontal irradiation.

However, when selecting the optimum angle modules should also take into account peculiarities of power consumption. In this project, Passive house the house lacks heating (171 W), which is proposed to be added by using the electric heater in the cold season. Therefore, in Fig. 4 shows the flow of radiation from season to season, and Fig. 5 discrepancy in the parish in relation to the horizontal plane.

Analysis of the data presented in Fig. 4 and 5, led to the following conclusions: The arrival of the solar radiation in the summer is maximum on a horizontal surface; The arrival of the solar radiation in the winter is maximum on the surface with angle of 57 ; The arrival of the solar radiation in the spring and autumn periods is highest on the surface at angles 27 and 42, respectively; The amount of solar radiation on a vertical surface is practically unchanged from season to season, but it is minimal with respect to the horizontal surface of the spring and summer; The difference in the flow of energy on the surface at angles of 42 and 57 are minimal.
772 Ekaterina Aronova et al. / Procedia Engineering 117 ( 2015 ) 766 774 Fig. 5. Shots incoming solar energy on differently oriented surface and a horizontal surface Thus, the priority use of the energy generated by photovoltaic modules in the cold season, possibly with tilt angles of modules in 57 and 42. However, since the total annual flow in the second case, a 6% increase in the subsequent calculations will be used in a 42 angle to the horizon. In the second stage assess the effectiveness of solar panels to generate electricity in Macedonia weather conditions dealing with the following inputs: Estimated area south oriented front roof pitch - 50 m²; The efficiency of PV modules - 15%; The angle of the modules to the horizon - 42. Figure 6 provides an assessment of electricity generation by the solar modules of 50 m² in every month of the year. Annual electricity production will be 11242 kwh. Daily average values for each month of the year are shown in Fig. 7. The graph shows the minimum value for December is 17 kwh, which is enough to provide electricity for the heatingdevice.

Conclusions Climatic conditions allow Macedonia to design buildings, known as «Energy-plus house». In addition, emission of carbon dioxide (CO2) is proportional to the increase in energy consumption for heating / cooling and total primary energy. «Energy-plus house» provide an environmentally safe operation of buildings.

774 Ekaterina Aronova et al. / Procedia Engineering 117 ( 2015 ) 766 774 using photovoltaic modules for electricity generation in Macedonia weather conditions. Optimum tilt angle of the module is 42, which provides operational efficiencies of modules in the cold season and almost maximum energy production throughout the year. Evaluation of power generation modules with the surface of the building showed that the worst in terms of resource flows of solar radiation of the month - December solar modules will generate no less than 17 kwh electricity consumption per day. Thus, this work complements the earlier studies carried out under the project «Passive house», and skips to the next level creating a «Energy-plus house».
