Numerical Validation of the Radiative Model for the Solar Cadaster Developed for Greater Geneva

The achievement of the targets for reducing greenhouse gas emissions set by Paris Agreements and Swiss federal law on reduction (CO2 law) requires massive use renewable energies, which cannot be achieved without their adoption general public. solar cadaster developed as part INTERREG G2 Solar project is intended to assess potential buildings at scale Greater Geneva—for both industrial individual residential buildings—at a resolution 1 m. new version roofs, well that vertical facades. study presented here aims validate this through comparison with results obtained two other simulation tools are widely used validated scientific community. good accordance ENVI-met DIVA-for-Rhino demonstrates capability radiative model Geneva accurately predict radiation levels building facades in configurations randomly distributed (horizontally or vertically).
