To heat => hot water, to cool => cold water More cost effective and energy efficient than air conditioning
Total annual electricity demand = kWh 50% demand to be met by renewables = kWh
Rooftop PV flat 432.6m2 11.8% efficiency = 44395kWh Overhang PV flat 132m2 11.8% efficiency = 6433kWh (30% Shaded) Overhang PV vertical 132m2 11.8% efficiency = 9482kWh (30% Shaded) Rooftop PVT system flat 104.4m2 13% efficiency =11785kWh Increased efficiency as thermal system reduces operating temperature Total electricity generated = 72096kWh

Size increased from 25m x 25m to 28m x 28m -increase atrium size and allow more natural light to enter Pitch of roof – changed from angled to flat pitch was not feasible by exceeding the maximum height not enough light entering the atrium Overhangs designed to create shading Solar gains and low u-values of materials creating internal overheating PV installed on to overhangs Electrical demand exceeded 50% onsite generated requirement Change Ventilation Flow Rate Cooling was not sufficient so ac/h increased
