| Title of the article | The influence of Solar energy on architectural formation of buildings |
| Abstract. | Creating helio energy buildings promotes the formation of a greener environment and the use of alternative means of generating electricity. The principles of architectural formation while designing such buildings are aimed at obtaining surfaces in which photovoltaic modules, using the maximum solar radiation for processing it into electrical energy will be integrated. For designing process implementation reliable climatic characteristics of the area are necessary, such as amount of solar energy arriving at the surface of different orientation, the air temperature and its humidity, wind speed. These data were obtained from the NASA POWER SSE satellite observations database on request for the city of Kazan. Modeling optimal shape of the building and enclosing surfaces where photovoltaic modules can be arranged was carried out using Autodesk Project Vasari program, which is used for creating sketch concepts of designed energy-efficient buildings. As a result, a building of unusual shapes and three-dimensional structure was designed, and the amount of electric energy, according to estimates from photovoltaic cells integrated into the building envelope, will be sufficient to provide air conditioning systems installed in the office premises in the period from April to September. |
