The first step in evaluating the potential for a PV solar system is to assess if your building is a good candidate. SOLAR ACCESS Most low to mid-rise buildings in B.C. are located in medium density zoning areas where the roof is unlikely to be shaded by a neighbouring high-rise, and many are tall enough that the roof is not shaded by trees.
The scientific analysis of building construction could be carried out using the PHOENICS software model about the existing high-rise building facade, steel reinforcement of
Currently, the construction and operation of buildings are responsible for 36% of global final energy usage and nearly 40% of energy-related carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. From the perspective of sustainable development, and taking into account economy and thermal comfort, it is crucial to consider the influence of multi-objective realization on design
