Unlike traditional energy systems which highly rely on fossil fuel, green buildings utilize renewable energy source or high efficient energy systems, or both, to provide environmental friendly, low carbon waste energy.
Active techniques, including photovoltaic systems, solar thermal systems, and hybrid PV-T systems, offer reliable and efficient means of harnessing solar energy to meet the energy needs of buildings. These systems convert solar energy into usable forms of energy, such as electricity and heat, which can be directly utilized within the building.
In this regard, solar energy technologies, both renewable and passive, have emerged as promising solutions. This paper comprehensively reviews the energy, economic and environmental (3E) performance of prevalent passive and renewable solar systems, separately and combined, integrated into buildings.
Sustainable buildings prioritize energy efficiency, resource conservation and the use of renewable energy. In this vein, there has been a growing interest in adopting solar energy technologies, both renewable and passive ones, , , since they play a crucial role in decarbonizing buildings and achieving net-zero emissions .
The current study provides an extensive review of the various solar energy techniques employed in achieving zero energy buildings (ZEBs). The study underscores the critical role of both passive and active solar energy techniques in reducing the energy demand of buildings and generating renewable energy to meet the remaining demand.
