Assessing combined object and mutual shading on the performance of a solar field

Kanters, Jouri LU and Davidsson, Henrik LU (2017) 15th International Conference of the International Building Performance Simulation Association, Building Simulation 2017.
Abstract
To make well-informed decisions on the implementation
of solar energy on roofs within the urban environment, a
new method was developed and described that could
support such decision-making. This method takes both the
mutual shading and shading from external objects into
account. The method consists of the following six steps:
1) construction of the scene, 2) performance of annual
solar irradiation analyses, 3) performance of statistical
analyses, 4) calculation of the energy output, 5)
calculation of the parameters payback time and profit, 6)
displaying the results. Analysing the data by setting own
preferences will make more informed decision-making
possible. The outputs from the method are... (More)
