Energy/GHG & Resilience for Low-Rise Residential Development
Tier 1 GHG 2.1 On-site Renewable Energy City-owned residential buildings (Divisions, Agencies and Corporations of the City of Toronto) For new buildings with a gross floor area of greater than 100m 2 install renewable energy devices to supply at least 5 per cent of the building''s annual energy consumption from one or a combination of energy sources. …
Towards net zero energy design for low-rise residential buildings in subtropical …
Nevertheless, one group of the feasible places for implementing the net zero energy (NZE) design is the low-rise residential buildings in Hong Kong. Typically they are three-storey village houses, in which the renewable energy provisions can be installed in the available space, like the flat roof and the external walls.
A parametric approach to optimize solar access for energy efficiency in high-rise residential buildings …
In this study, the optimum solar access is defined for a perimeter zone in a high-rise residential building, achieving 75 sDA (300lx|50) with corresponding annual energy savings of 28%-36% in the east–west and 8%-12% in the north–south directions.
