Residential, Low-Density Neighborhoods
This chapter presents the main principles in the design of solar residential, low-density neighborhoods. The main parameters influencing the capture of solar energy are discussed. These parameters are mostly associated with density and street layout, as well as building shapes. The chapter employs a number of hypothetical case studies of small-scale residential neighborhoods to demonstrate various design principles and their impact. The selected examples aim at presenting flexibility of design, while promoting energy conservation, and maximizing solar capture and utilization.
