2. Lower Energy Costs: Solar-integrated buildings, equipped with photovoltaic (PV) solar panels, possess a transformative capability to generate their electricity. This shift from complete dependence on grid power to self-generation through solar energy has profound financial implications that benefit both building owners and occupants.
In China, multi-family residential buildings can be mainly divided into low-rise (1–3 storeys), multi-storey (4–6 storeys), mid-rise (7–9 storeys) and high-rise (>10 storeys) buildings (Uniform standard for design of civil buildings (GB 50352-2019), 2019). This paper considers the residential buildings of 1 to 15 storeys as the object ...
