Abstract:
This paper introduces methodologies on how the
renewable energy generated by the solar thermal and
solar photovoltaic (PV) systems installed on site can be
integrated in the whole building simulation analyses,
which then can be available to analyze the energy
impact of solar systems installed in commercial
buildings. A large prototypical office building
(124,000 ft2) was used in simulation modeling. The
DOE-2.1e program was used for whole building
simulation, F-Chart (Beckman et al., 1977) for solar
thermal systems analysis, and PV F-Chart (Klein and
Beckman, 1983) for solar PV systems analysis.
