Abstract

This paper presents a study of energy performance enhancement methods in multistory residential buildings. The study is carried out for Montreal location, Canada (45°N). All configurations considered assume a suburban environment that allows high solar exposure and no obstruction from adjacent buildings or external surrounding objects such as trees. Energy performance is measured by the balance between energy consumption, on the demand side, and electricity production by means of integrated PV systems, on the supply side. The present study considers enhancement of the supply side by increasing electricity generation potential.
