  4. 13. 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 ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Kendall Hartman; [2021]
    Keywords : Physical Geography and Ecosystem analysis; CityJSON; 3D City Model; solar energy; solar urban planning; sustainable urban development; NS building; Geomatics; Earth and Environmental Sciences; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : 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
