Solar Performance Metrics in Urban Planning: A Review and Taxonomy

Solar Performance Metrics in Urban Planning: A Review and Taxonomy

Metrics are instrumental in design assessments. Solar performance metrics help designers to evaluate solar access in cities. Metrics should be used early in the urban planning stages in order to enable sustainable urban development with greater access to solar energy. Currently, solar assessments at...
