Finally, high-rise buildings have great potential to gain solar radiations because of their vast facades. Analyzing case studies illustrate that applying solar passive strategies in high-rise buildings have a meaningful effect on reducing the total annual cooling and heating energy demand.
This study reviews the recent literature about the solar passive strategies and active technologies in high-rise buildings. It illustrates the effectiveness of benefiting solar energy. It introduces solar energy as a substitute source of energy in high-rise buildings.
Innovations in vertical solar technology are making this a more viable option. Shared Solar Systems: High-rise buildings can participate in community solar programs or shared solar systems, where multiple buildings share the energy generated from a single, larger solar installation.
High Initial Costs: The complexity of installing solar systems in high-rise buildings often leads to higher upfront costs, which can be a deterrent despite long-term savings. Building-Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV): BIPV systems integrate solar cells into building materials like windows, facades, and roofs.
The following table summarizes the effect of using solar design- both passive strategies and active technologies- and other sustainable technologies in the Pinnacle Tower, which can be compared with ordinary high-rise buildings that do not benefit from these types of technologies (Table 4). 4.
