Building integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) is a promising solution for providing building energy and realizing net-zero energy buildings. Based on the developed mathematical model, this paper assesses the solar irradiation resources and BIPV potential of residential buildings in different climate zones of China.
The use of solar energy has great potential for promoting energy efficiency and reducing the environmental impact of energy consumption in buildings. This study examines the applications of photovoltaic and solar thermal technologies in the field of architecture, demonstrating the huge potential of solar energy in building applications.
Due to the significant role that buildings play in overall energy consumption, the application and promotion of solar building systems contribute to the solution of energy and environmental problems. The following conclusions have been drawn.
Buildings account for a significant proportion of total energy consumption. The integration of renewable energy sources is essential to reducing energy demand and achieve sustainable building design. The use of solar energy has great potential for promoting energy efficiency and reducing the environmental impact of energy consumption in buildings.
What is more, solar energy technology is increasingly being used in building construction, particularly in urban areas, which can reduce reliance on traditional energy sources . Progress in distributed energy systems is expected to increase the use of solar thermal collectors and photovoltaic/thermal systems in residential buildings .
Solar energy utilization is vital for the development of zero-energy buildings. Paper investigated the potential of achieving nearly zero-energy apartment buildings using integrated solar technologies and dynamic occupancy profile in Northern Europe.
