With the development of energy-saving and emission-reduction, solar energy as a clean energy with excellent characteristics has bright prospects for development and application in residential environment with high energy consumption. With the intensification of land use, there are more and more high-rise residential areas …
Journal of Coastal Research publishes content relevant to natural and engineered coastline environments and the protection/management of their resources. Wang, R.Z.; Qian, Y.M.; Wei, T., and Jiang, X., 2020. A practical scheme for integrated utilization of passive ...
In order to evaluate high-rise buildings in terms of solar energy use, the author analyzes the case studies from both passive solar strategies and active solar technologies'' aspects. In the first phase; direct solar gain, indirect solar gain, isolated solar gain, thermal storage mass and passive cooling as a meaningful factor to obtain ...
Dominion Properties turned its vision to reality by transforming a brick façade into a generative asset. An 83-foot solar array was installed on the side of the company''s seven-story building near Milwaukee, Wisc. by Arch Solar. The array, which is now operational, is ...
Ten buildings that incorporate solar panels in unusual ways
Solar PV, Solar Ready, Battery, and Electric Ready
Rooftop solar on the rise
In this sector, high-rise buildings with their vast facades have a great potential to consume sustainable energies. For instance they can easily gain solar radiations. Thus, here, the emphasis has been put on the practices …
In general, 1000 kW h/m² or more can be consumed in office buildings for heating, lighting, computers and hot water per year.As shown in Fig. 2 the overall building energy consumption in Germany at 2007 was as follows; 25% of overall energy consumptions went to space heating, 9% to water heating 7% to lighting and appliances …
To employ solar energy in buildings, and particularly NZEBs, many technologies and paths are available. Fig. 1 represents available solar collector technologies for net-zero energy buildings. These technologies can be categorized into three groups, i.e., photovoltaic (PV), thermal, and photovoltaic+thermal (PVT), and into two major subcategories, i.e., non …
To get a better idea, a typical 30-story building with Mitrex integrated solar technology produces approximately 13 million kWh of energy, offsetting 9,500 metric tons of CO2 over 30 years.
10% of the total building energy be drawn from solar power.[7,29]Accordingly high-rise buildings in urban areas which are major consumers of energy need to be utilised as sites for Solar PV. Though roof-top Solar PV has been getting due attention, fa-cades of high-rise buildings also offer a great opportunity for Solar PV. This research
This study aims to determine the zero energy potential of high-rise residential buildings based on the energy use of recently occupied apartments. Among …
With the development of energy-saving and emission-reduction, solar energy as a clean energy with excellent characteristics has bright prospects for development and application in residential …
Introduction To limit the global temperature rise to 1.5 C, emission reductions are imminent issues over the world (Li et al., 2021) 2020, China, as the world''s largest energy consumer, announced its goal to reach the peak of CO 2 emissions before 2030 and achieve carbon neutrality before 2060 (An Energy Sector Roadmap to Carbon …
In order to evaluate high-rise buildings in terms of solar energy use, the author analyzes the case studies from both passive solar strategies and active solar technologies'' aspects. In the first phase; direct solar gain, …
More than one-third of the electricity generated in the world is being consumed in the residential sector. This study aims to model, simulate, and estimate electrical energy ...
Building integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) is a promising solution for providing building energy and realizing net-zero energy buildings. Based on the …
Most buildings will soon require solar. The requirements, which appear in a new section of the Building Energy Efficiency Standards, Section 140.10, apply to most nonresidential occupancies. Requirements for multifamily buildings four stories and greater (high-rise residential) appear in the newly created multifamily section of the code.
This study reviews the recent literature about the solar passive strategies and active technologies in high-rise buildings. • It illustrates the effectiveness of …
Solar energy is one of the most commonly employed strategies in residential architecture, both active and passive. Many countries around the world offer incentives to encourage the use of solar ...
