Comparison of the solar energy utilisation potential of different urban environments

摘要: Besides a more efficient energy use, large scale application of solar technologies in the urban context will be necessary upcoming decades to achieve drastic reduction greenhouse gas emissions biosphere. Two different sites, representative two largest Swiss cities (Basel and Geneva), were examined under this aspect order assess their respective potential. Spatial distributions irradiation daylight fluxes over overall building facades roofs calculated using ray-tracing simulation techniques determine appropriate placement (passive active solar, photovoltaic daylighting). Several performance indicators used utilisation potential these sites (e.g. statistics sky view factors factors). A comparison results observed for presented paper. It has been that both cases values useful surface areas are significant.
