This thesis presents a proposal for a building that can produce power by incorporating a photovoltaic and thermal energy collection system as a programmed design component, offering an architectural solution to what is traditionally viewed as an engineering problem.
Photovoltaic systems can be integrated into buildings in three ways. The most common method is to simply add commercially available modules onto exterior surfaces; this is often the case in retrofit projects where photovoltaic panels are laid out on commercial rooftops or on the sloped roofs of single family homes.
Hence, combining solar thermal systems with efficiency can be the best outcome for developers, investors and end consumers especially in the case of domestic hot water or space heating. The efficiency increment must also reflect the quality of the energy produced. This can be achieved using solar thermal production from renewable sources.
It has been an important resource and challenge for designers, faced with balancing natural lighting with the risk of overheating. Passive solar design seeks to reduce the energy consumption of buildings as well as produce ones that act in conjunction with natural forces, not against them.
