* A complete overview of solar technologies relevant to the builtenvironment, including solar thermal energy for heating andcooling, passive solar energy for daylighting and heating supply,and photovoltaics for electricity production
* Provides practical examples and calculations to enablecomponent and system simulation e.g. Calculation of U-values, I-Vcurve parameters and radiance distribution modelling
* Discusses the new trends in thermal energy use, including thearchitectural integration of collector systems, integratedventilation photovoltaics facades and solar powered absorptioncooling systems
* Coverage of cutting-edge applications such as active andpassive cooling techniques and results from ongoing researchprojects
