Architectural Experiment Design of Solar Energy Harvesting: A Kinetic Façade System for Educational Facilities
Source abstract
Abstract
This study proposes an architectural design for renewable energy production to increase energy independence in the architectural field. Among natural energy sources, solar panels that can be applied to building façades have been developed to use solar energy. To maximize renewable energy generation, solar panels can be adjusted according to the optimal tilt for each month. They can be attached to and detached from the building façade and installed on an existing building elevation. Thus, it is possible to increase the energy independence of old buildings. The solar panel developed in this study increases energy independence and presents a creative “kinetic façade,” in which solar panels move each month according to the optimal tilt angle.
