1. Introduction Resource-efficient and energy-saving buildings have become increasingly popular and necessary in the early design stages [1].A significant portion of the global energy demand is associated with building operations [2], making it one of the most energy-intensive sectors in China [3]..
Searches for peer-reviewed papers were conducted in Q1 journals including "Energy and Buildings", "Sustainable Cities and Society", "Cleaner Production", "Building and Environment", etc., with frequent keywords containing high-rise residential building, energy
BIPV technology can be applied to almost any built structure, such as high-rise buildings, stadiums, residential homes, bus stops, greenhouses, sidewalks, …
Building integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) is a promising solution for providing building energy and realizing net-zero energy buildings. Based on the …
Researchers in Canada have found that nearly zero-energy buildings (NZEBs) with on-site solar energy generation should not exceed an energy use intensity (EUI) of 50 kWh/m2a, which they said ...
Natural ventilation has been one of the most important passive cooling strategies for conditioning the built environment. However, several challenges influence natural ventilation in multi-story buildings. Consequently, skycourt presents a passive cooling strategy to provide a direct airflow into the space to cool the surroundings, …
This goal, however, can be unfeasible in the case of high-rise buildings. Our results indicate that achieving net-zero energy performance in an archetype high-rise building in 16 different cities of North America requires energy use intensities as …
But in these studies, the problems of geometric modeling of high-rise buildings are considered when using only passive form of solar energy (accumulation of solar heat and light). In [24 ...
Courtesy of Mitrex Using solar façade panels as small as 2 square meters on a south facing wall would produce enough energy to offset the carbon used to make the panel in only three years. After ...
The present article provides a concise review of a sample of studies concerning Building Integrated Solar Energy Systems integrated into façades published in the last five years. …
Among the works investigated within the scope of this research, 60% of the studies (14 out of 23 studies) were related to the envelope of high-rise buildings while one was a review paper [13 ...
In dense, energy-demanding urban areas, the effective utilization of solar energy resources, encompassing building-integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) systems and solar water heating (SWH) systems inside buildings, holds paramount importance for addressing concerns related to carbon emission reduction and the balance of energy …
Towards zero-energy buildings in China: A systematic ...
This study reviews the recent literature about the solar passive strategies and active technologies in high-rise buildings. • It illustrates the effectiveness of benefiting …
Renew. Energy Environ. Sustain. 7, 7 (2022) Review Article A literature review on Building Integrated Solar Energy Systems (BI-SES) for façades − photovoltaic, thermal and hybrid systems 1 Laboratório Nacional de Energia e Geologia (LNEG), 1649–038 Lisbon, Portugal ...
The purpose of the paper is to evaluate the shadow impact factor of buildings on building-integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) system efficiency and to determine …
Evaluating the cost and benefit of these two ways of solar energy utilization can provide references for using renewable energy in urban buildings. Assessments of …
Green building practices to integrate renewable energy in ...
Solar application in buildings is limited by available installation areas. The performance of photovoltaic (PV) and solar collectors are compared in meeting the heating and cooling demand of a residential house using 100% solar energy through TRNSYS modelling of five systems that use air source heat pump and seasonal energy …
The performance of photovoltaic (PV) and solar collectors are compared in meeting the heating and cooling demand of a residential house using 100% solar …
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 …
Previous research mainly focused on switchable glazing in high-rise residential building [14], the technical, economic, environmental, and comfort implications of new glazing technologies [5,14,15 ...
