Abstract

This paper aims to determine the optimum geometry of the building blocks in order to ensure the viable building integration of active solar energy systems in the urban fabric. Through literature review, similar research objectives are reported and analysed, whilst the building integration of active solar systems in urban areas is explored. The motivation for the proposed research emanates for a need for an analysis at the scale of urban blocks and of building massing configurations at the scale of a cluster of buildings rather than that of an individual building. These sets of physical characteristics are examined to arrive at simplified archetypes, while at the same time the habitation density is held constant.
