Toward Solar Architecture

Solar Energy Uses and its Applications for Futuristic Energy Requirements

“…The common features of passive solar architecture are orientation relative to the Sun, compact proportion (a low surface area to volume ratio), selective shading (overhangs) and thermal mass. 9 H. Solar Agriculture Agriculture seek to optimize the capture of solar energy in order to optimize the productivity of plants. Techniques such as timed planting cycles, tailored row orientation, staggered heights between rows and the mixing of plant varieties can improve crop yields.…”

Utilizarea energiei solare in realizarea casei pasive inteligente. Studii de caz

“…A concept promoted in Germany which combines the two is the transparent thermal insulation. Apart of the passive elements to use solar energy (Schittich, 2003), this can be also actively used, through thermal collectors and photovoltaic.…”

“…Un concept promovat în Germania care combină cele două este cel al termoizolației transparente. În afară de elementele pasive de utilizare a energiei solare (Schittich, 2003), aceasta poate fi utilizată și activ, prin colectori termici și fotovoltaic.…”

Advanced Solar Shading Methodologies in Applied Building Sciences

“…Moreover, the study involves the regulation of the ergonomic and energy conditions, according to the reflection, capture and diffusion of external environmental loads. In this respect, the analysis examines the contributions to the "solar gain" conditions and the reduction of thermal losses, due to the high conductivity and low thermal inertia value of the glass enclosures (Schittich, 2003;Syed, 2012).…”
