It was found that after the deployment of solar panels in case B8, the NEUI became negative, indicating that the solar energy generation potential exceeded the energy use for the block buildings. The Tower block exhibited the most significant improvement in energy performance, with the lowest NEUI value after the deployment of PV panels.
The deployment of PV panels in dormitory blocks led to an average reduction of 65.0% in EUI. This result was consistent with a study conducted by Hachem-Vermette et al. (2019) on a mixed-use community in Canada, which found that energy generated by PV panels can replace about 70% of a community's total energy use.
It can be applied to other cities and climate regions to evaluate building energy consumption and solar energy generation potential at block-scale, to determine the most efficient planning and design solutions suitable for the local environment.
This study primarily examined the impact of urban morphology on building energy consumption and solar energy potential. Building energy consumption is a multifactorial phenomenon that is influenced by a range of factors, such as building envelope, construction materials, occupancy, and equipment load.
Should school districts invest in solar energy? School districts often grapple with budget constraints, with energy costs being one of their most significant expenses. Adopting solar energy can dramatically
Solar power harnessing in a dormitory setting can significantly enhance energy efficiency while promoting sustainable living. 1. Solar panels can be installed on rooftops or balconies, 2. Solar
