Active Solar Technologies
Active solar systems refer to systems that convert solar energy to usable form of thermal or electrical energy. Unlike passive systems, active solar energy technologies require the collection and transport of solar radiation through a medium and then the processing of the collected solar energy into thermal or electrical energy, employing specific components (for …
ANSI Approves Solar Energy Code
On Oct. 21, 2009, the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) approved the 2009 Uniform Solar Energy Code (USEC), a consensus-based model code for the installation, inspection, and maintenance of solar energy systems and component products, for accreditation as an American National Standard. While a uniform solar energy code has been in existence …
Built for the sun: Solar thermal collectors as architectural elements
The aesthetic integration of the solar collectors was shown to be a profitable assignment for Architect Phillipi (Hamburg, Germany). He took the creative opportunity to use the large continuous roof area available to integrate a total of 3000 m 2 solar collector area. The collectors, as they are integrated into the roof, have a positive ...
