6 FAQs about [Which type of solar energy is best for high-rise residential buildings]
How can solar energy be used in high-rise buildings?
These strategies can be applied and adapted to high-rise buildings by using direct solar gain, indirect solar gain, isolated solar gain, thermal storage mass and passive cooling systems. On the other hand, considering active solar technologies can also add extra potential by providing part of the building necessary energy demands.
Can high-rise buildings gain solar radiation?
Finally, high-rise buildings have great potential to gain solar radiations because of their vast facades. Analyzing case studies illustrate that applying solar passive strategies in high-rise buildings have a meaningful effect on reducing the total annual cooling and heating energy demand.
Can solar-powered high-rise buildings achieve net-zero energy status?
Examined feasibility of solar-powered net-zero energy high-rise buildings. The maximum permitted EUI by net-zero energy status is 17–28 kWh/m 2. Meeting this EUI is harder than most stringent building codes. Taller the building, harder it becomes to achieve net-zero energy status. Building orientation impacts maximum permitted EUI.
Can solar passive strategies be used as an alternative in high-rise buildings?
Therefore, by considering the use of solar passive strategies and active technologies as an alternative in high-rise buildings, this study tries to fill some of the current gaps as much as possible and its proposed fundamental message is changing architects’ and construction builders’ view in dealing with the subject. 1.1. Research methodology
How much solar energy does a building need?
Conversely, the best-performing residential and commercial buildings have EUIs of 50–75 kWh/m 2 a. Only if building heights are limited to 5–10 floors does the available solar energy, and thus the permitted EUI, reach 50–75 kWh/m 2 a.
Should high-rise buildings be net-zero energy?
Only if building heights are limited to 5–10 floors does the available solar energy, and thus the permitted EUI, reach 50–75 kWh/m 2 a. Therefore, we recommend that policymakers not require high-rise buildings to be net-zero energy, unless they are prepared to limit building heights to 5–10 floors. 1. Introduction
