Project of Building: Solar Hot Water

Abstract

The rapid development of urbanization in China has led to an increase in high-rise residential buildings, leading to a surge in the construction industry. However, this prosperity has brought about a significant increase in energy consumption, prompting people's demand for alternative energy. As a solution to this problem, solar hot water systems are becoming increasingly popular in China. The following contents need to be considered in the design of solar hot water systems. The general solar hot water system consists of solar collectors, solar water distribution pipes and water storage tanks. The arrangement of the water storage tank and the water distribution pipe is matched with the design of the building, which has great influence on the operation of the solar energy in the building. With the rapid increase in building height and the increase in residents, the roof area has not changed. The architectural layout will have an impact on the absorption performance of solar radiation. Therefore, in order to optimize the use of solar energy, regional planning should be considered. Different solar radiant intensity and different locations of solar collectors will lead to different collection efficiency and hot water supply conditions of solar water heating systems. Throughout the entire process of architectural design, the application of solar energy technology in buildings also requires consideration of the operating area conditions and architectural style, in harmony with the architectural style.
