Finally, high-rise buildings have great potential to gain solar radiations because of their vast facades. Analyzing case studies illustrate that applying solar passive strategies in high-rise buildings have a meaningful effect on reducing the total annual cooling and heating energy demand.
In addition, the solar potential simulations also showed that for 11-floor residential high-rises with side balconies, the total annual solar energy potentials on facades were 3.3–4.8 times of the solar potential on roof areas (with 950 kWh/m 2 year for solar radiation on roof area).
