This paper studies and analyzes the implementation of different types of clean and renewable solar energy in municipal buildings of Soria (Spain). Three different scenarios are analyzed. Firstly the implementation of photovoltaic (PV) solar energy on the roof of municipal buildings, secondly the...

The integration of photovoltaic (PV) generators in the envelope of a building by means of building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) offers an immense potential, both in market development and the production of renewable electric energy that is close to the point of electricity consumption. In...

A solar assisted heat pump (SAHP) system was designed by using a roof-integrated solar collector as the evaporator, and then it was demonstrated to provide space heating for a villa in Tianjin, China. A building energy simulation tool was used to predict the space heating load and a three...
