Abstract
ABSTRACT This paper analyses the current definition of positive energy building (PEB) and a selection of both NZEB and PEB built projects with real monitored data, discussing their design features and potential for achieving positive energy balance. The research aims to assess an optimal ratio between photovoltaic (PV) area and achieved self-sufficiency ratios in office buildings. The study shows that most of the buildings’ PV systems have an area equal to 10–20% of the total building’s net floor area. Buildings that have PV to area ratio from 13% to 20% are self-sufficient from 100% to 150%. PV installation in the façades results decisive for reaching positive energy balance. The relation of the PV system installed on the façade to PV system on the roof is from 50% to 57% for the studied buildings. Buildings located in sites with higher global horizontal irradiation (GHI) tend to have lower PV area ratios.
期刊介绍:
Founded at the University of Sydney in 1958 by Professor Henry Cowan to promote continued professional development, Architectural Science Review presents a balanced collection of papers on a wide range of topics. From its first issue over 50 years ago the journal documents the profession’s interest in environmental issues, covering topics such as thermal comfort, lighting, and sustainable architecture, contributing to this extensive field of knowledge by seeking papers from a broad geographical area. The journal is supported by an international editorial advisory board of the leading international academics and its reputation has increased globally with individual and institutional subscribers and contributors from around the world. As a result, Architectural Science Review continues to be recognised as not only one of the first, but the leading journal devoted to architectural science, technology and the built environment. Architectural Science Review publishes original research papers, shorter research notes, and abstracts of PhD dissertations and theses in all areas of architectural science including: -building science and technology -environmental sustainability -structures and materials -audio and acoustics -illumination -thermal systems -building physics -building services -building climatology -building economics -ergonomics -history and theory of architectural science -the social sciences of architecture
