“…The above results show that the higher cooling/heating load can be significantly reduced by optimizing the building envelope but do not achieve ZNE. While more energy-saving factors need to be considered to achieve the goal of carbon neutrality, such as air conditioning setting temperature, air conditioning running time, personnel density, and other indoor and outdoor thermal disturbances, as well as the application of passive energy-saving technologies, such as shading systems [ 81 ], double-cooling/heating systems [ 82 ], and solar energy utilization systems [ 83 ]. Moreover, considering that the thermal properties of the envelope will not be intermittently replaced due to seasonal differences, energy-saving design from a whole year perspective is more in line with the operational characteristics of the building.…”

To reduce the impact of climate change in the form of low-carbon developments, innovations in sustainable building strategies are imperative. In this regard, the performance of a double-roof house consisting of a photovoltaic panel roof (PV) and green roof (GR) was compared to traditional solar-roof buildings. The synergy between both the PV and GR systems was analysed by numerical simulations and physical modelling across the four seasons. The performance of the systems was assessed on three dimensions: indoor thermal comfort, photovoltaic temperature, and energy yield. The synergy of photovoltaic roofs with green roofs kept the indoor environment 6% more comfortable than solar roofs. The synergy also reduced the photovoltaic temperature by up to 8 °C, extending the PV life span and increasing the energy yield by 18%.
