4. Modelling solar access at the window level of buildings – a case study for urban densification simulations in Sweden
University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskapAbstract : Buildings are a are a major consumer of energy in urban areas. The use of solar energy in buildings can help reduce CO2 emitting energy consumption in these urban areas. One way to use solar energy is through passive solar energy systems. Passive solar energy systems allow a building to use daylight as an energy source. READ MORE
