Abstract
The solar source can decrease energy consumption (EC) for buildings on winter days, increases EC in summer when it is present on the envelopes. To make large use of solar energy, two methods were tested. Using PCM on the envelopes, summer radiation concerns were eliminated using the first method's Phase change materials (PCM) -based absorption technology. In order to generate hygienic hot water, the second method relies on absorbing solar energy and then converting it to heat (SHW). In the first way, EC decreased by 44 %, which is equivalent to a 272 kWh loss in EC on hot days. 48 % of the time and 2395 kW-hours were used on frigid day. To get a full year's worth of data, it was found that EC decreased by 2679 kWh. It takes as much as 6288 kWh less EC to supply SHW using the second strategy, which saw an overall reduction of 36.6 % in SHW EC.
