... of the outer skin of a building exposed to external conditions. In the summer, higher amounts of solar radiation fall on dark and inefficient roofs, increasing the surface temperature of the roof and increasing the demand for cooling in the summer. The difference between the surface and surrounding temperature...

... the grid during on-peak hours, while maintaining PV panel efficiency in terms of the amount of solar radiation received. In this article, we present a framework that identifies the ideal location of PV panels on residential rooftops. Our framework combines energy and environmental simulation, parametric...
