Abstract Nowadays, the application of renewable energies such as solar energy in building sector has increased notably considering adverse impacts climate change on human life; hence many studies have focused photovoltaic panels buildings. In current study, a 3D computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model been developed to evaluate performance newly designed building-integrated (BIPV) system. Give...

The main objective of this study is to develop strategies which aim improve the energy saving and sustainability at University Jeddah (UJ) - Khulais branch. can be improved by reducing -indirectly- cooling load, while recycling sewage water, generating from solar irradiance improving land-use efficiency. Initially, reasons for increasing consumption in buildings were identified. most important ...

Abstract Building Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV) is a promising technology to decarbonize urban energy systems via harnessing solar available on building envelopes. Nevertheless, handling the trade-off between effort, speed and spatial-temporal resolution for 3D BIPV potential evaluation in complex context has always been challenging task. Existing physics-based simulation engines require sign...
