Abstract
As we approach the end of 2014, what is the public’s interpretation of advances in “solar architecture”? Is it still, in many cases, limited to an installation of solar thermal collectors or photovoltaic panels on building roofs and facades? And in the area of improving “energy efficiency” of buildings and their interiors, are the choices for materials and high-tech systems generally considered as the final objectives for some leading building industries? Are these the only things we should consider as the means towards an environmentally oriented and healthy design?
A comprehensive integration of solar and weather data (including long-term historical weather records, recent observations, nowcasting, deterministic and probabilistic weather forecast scenarios) into all aspects related to structures (including architectural and urban plans as well as city flow management and decision-making processes) cannot be treated as an option we choose to ignore or drop along the way.
This chapter tries to discuss some key parameters such as global and local challenges observed by the author, namely, in 2014. It also strives to demonstrate the creative process of actively questioning, finding and developing adaptive solutions in urban/architectural decision-making environments.
