Systematic Design Assessment Techniques for Solar Buildings
Solar building design involves the systematic study of complex inter-relationships between the temporal patterns of solar energy supply and the temporal patterns of energy use within the building. Variations in weather exercise a dominating role. Peak energy demands and solar supply tend to be anti-phase. However, the temporal matches between such dynamic inputs and outputs can be improved by the introduction of appropriate thermal storage either making use of the building fabric itself or alternatively introducing special thermal stores as capacitance phase regulators. Detailed thermal design assessment is thus complex. A team led by J.K. Page in the Department of Building Science, University of Sheffield have been studying how to automate the complex climatological design assessment of passive and active solar buildings using interactive computer aided design techniques with associated graphics. This paper describes the various approaches developed for the detailed modelling of the relevant climatic input variables.
