Architecture of Solar Energy
Active solar energy systems are a relatively new area in architecture; building-integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) electric power systems are a major new technology in current practice,
In Solar Architecture practice, “Energy Delivered” is the energy absorbed by a solution's solar harvesting surfaces over its life cycle, and “Energy Required to Deliver that Energy” is the energy used to manufacture and maintain the solutions' components of and embedded technologies in these surfaces over this life cycle.
The principles of Solar Architecture include maximizing solar energy harvesting from solution's surfaces with a positive balance of energy, carbon, and cost provided by the solution. Solar Architecture application selection is built on two major cornerstones, features and groups, defining the best options in energy engineering of a solar solution.
Solar power shapes our buildings, making them more alive. Now, let's explore the innovative techniques that bring this energy to life in architecture. Utilizing Building-Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV) is a key technique in modern architecture, allowing solar energy systems to blend seamlessly into building designs.
While clients' needs and strategies for solar energy use are various, the energy engineering objective must match the Solar Architecture Principles: maximize solar energy harvesting on solution's surfaces while ensuring positive energy, carbon, and cost balance in solution's life cycle.
