The paper presents a theoretical investigation of using a Seasonal Thermal Energy Storage facility (STES) to cover the heat demand of a complex of four buildings. The STES is placed in the ground and connected to both the local district heating network and solar panels. A number of scenarios were investigated to find an adequate size of the STES (tank size and solar panel area.) The results obtained show that the use of a STES could reduce heat consumption by 22100% depending on the architecture solution chosen.
