• Sommario/riassunto: The cost of operating a building far exceeds the cost of constructing it, and yet until recently little attention was paid to the impact of solar radiation on the costs of heating, cooling and ventilation. And now that there has been a surge in interest in energy efficiency and solar design, architects and designers need a practical guide to the modelling and application of solar energy data.There are many different models and techniques available for calculating the distribution of solar radiation on and in buildings, and these algorithms vary considerably in s
