Energy Assessment as a Decision-Making Framework for the Selection and Sizing of Solar Technologies by Energy Vector in Buildings: A Case Study of a University Residence Hall
The sizing of rooftop solar energy systems is commonly based on the most visible load or on generic end-use allocations, leading to an inadequate distribution of the limited rooftop area between heat and electricity. This study formalizes the energy audit within a three-level deterministic framework that selects and si...
