As urban areas become more populated and densified, it becomes more important to have low-energy high-rise buildings with minimal GHG emissions. On this account, this study evaluates the feasibility of achieving net-zero energy performance by employing solar energy in high-rise buildings in North America.
Attaching traditional solar modules on the side of a high-rise building takes some innovation and Arch Solar used masonry anchors to secure the modules to the side of the building in an array that’s 83 feet high by 23 feet wide.
Figure 13 presents the comparison among the neighborhoods. The urban layout with the most solar potential in this study is the conventional grid with tilted orientation (Parkdale) and the radial (Mount Royal), both with an installed capacity of 0.054 kWp/m 2.
Being the results of the outdated BISE in the same cluster as Hofman et al. (2002) and Hoogwijk (2004), it is assumed that our latest results could better capture the current rooftop potential for solar energy production as a consequence of the fine-tuned input data for rooftop geometry, meteorology and technology.
The modeling of building-integrated solar energy production is a crucial step to understand the feasibility of net-zero buildings that can play a vital role in decarbonizing the entire building sector across the world. This modeling task involved several challenges, including data collection, synthetization and optimization for the purposes.
Average solar potential comparison of various neighborhoods having different street layouts [kWp/m 2]. Considering the implementation of solar strategies, the neighborhood with the best performance is Parkdale and East York, with a reduction of 32% and 30% of the net energy consumption.
