Analyzing Energy Efficiency Through Density, Geometry, and Seasonal Radiation
This course explores the relationship between urban morphology and solar radiation, focusing on how the layout and density of high-rise and multi-scale urban environments impact solar energy distribution. Through a case study in Nanjing, participants will learn how various urban scales, from districts to plots, influence solar access and energy potential. Key parameters such as block surface ratio (BSR), floor area ratio (FAR), and sky view factor (SVF) are examined, providing insights into designing urban spaces with optimized solar exposure. This course is ideal for urban designers, architects, and city planners seeking to incorporate sustainable energy principles into high-density environments.
