6 FAQs about [Solar power generation in multi-storey buildings]

Can solar chimneys be used in multi-storey buildings?

In recent years, only a few studies have involved the application of solar chimneys in multi-storey buildings. Punyasompun et al. established a three-storey prototype building with a wall-integrated solar chimney and validated the analytical model by experimental data. The optimal structure of the multi-layer solar chimney is verified.

How does street layout affect solar energy harvesting?

Thus, the street layout affects building shape and building orientation, and as such it plays a significant part in solar energy harvesting, leading also to an impact on building energy and environmental performance 16.

How can solar energy be used in urban settings?

Energy consumption and solar energy generation capacity in urban settings are key components that need to be well integrated into the design of buildings and neighborhoods, both new and existing, to achieve significant energy and GHG emission reduction goals 2. Photovoltaics (PV) application in buildings has been vastly researched, worldwide 3, 4.

Do solar PV systems contribute to building sustainability?

Solar photovoltaic (PV) systems contribute to buildings’ sustainability by reducing the need for electricity from the grid. However, the diffusion of PV systems installed in the built environment (BEPV) in Sweden has historically been slow ( Lindahl et al., 2021) and has therefore been subject to research.

How to design a solar neighborhood?

Solar neighborhood designs must consider critical variables such as building forms, buildings’ density, and site layout in order to maximize solar potential 12.

Can solar energy be adopted on a neighborhood scale?

In the existing literature, for solar energy adoption on the neighborhood scale limited types of buildings are considered (e.g., the neighborhood with apartment buildings only). Also, the impact of energy efficiency measures and solar strategies is considered simultaneously in very few papers.
