By Kevin Collison Private developers are pursuing two major residential and retail projects in the 18th & Vine District that would revitalize an approximately two-block section on the west side of the historic neighborhood.
Generally, the height of single residential building is in the following range: ≤ 18 m (low-rise, 1–3 floors), ≤ 27 m (multi-story, 4–9 floors), > 27 m and ≤ 54 m (small high-rise, 10–18 floors), > 54 m and < 100 m (high-rise, 19–33 floors).
The study results show that at certain floor area ratios, the highest solar power generation can be achieved with a mixture of high-rise slabs and high-rise towers, but the building energy intensity level is relatively high;

Residential solar prices approach all-time lows, while storage prices have reached new record lows. Solar prices fell for the second six-month period in a row, reaching $2.69/W and nearing the all-time lowest quoted prices EnergySage has seen since it began tracking data in 2014. Quoted storage prices also dropped, setting a record low of
Is Geothermal Energy For Residential Homes Worth It? Determining the worth of geothermal energy for residential homes involves evaluating its long-term benefits against the initial investment. Geothermal systems are highly efficient, leveraging the Earth''s stable temperatures to provide heating and cooling at a significantly lower operational

Building integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) is a promising solution for providing building energy and realizing net-zero energy buildings. Based on the developed mathematical model, this paper assesses the solar irradiation resources and BIPV potential of residential buildings in different climate zones of China.
From the analysis of the data, it is clear that the rooftop is the preferred location for solar energy development. In the settlement planning process, the percentage of building roof area in the settlement environment can be appropriately increased to obtain a higher level of solar power generation.
The solar energy potential of building roofs and facades are evaluated. The global sensitivity analysis is used to prioritize the influential parameters. The characteristics of solar potential for thousands of buildings are analyzed. The quantitative analysis regarding the PV utilization strategies is presented.
The characteristics analysis was conducted to illustrate the distribution of solar energy potential for building surfaces. Then, the quantitative analysis was presented to provide the PV utilization strategies for residential building roofs and facades in different block environments. The main conclusions can be drawn as follows:
Especially the residential buildings, which occupy the main part of a city, have a great potential to utilize the solar resources on building surfaces (Limin et al., 2017). However, the diversity of residential buildings and complexity of urban environments make it difficult to efficiently utilize solar energy.
Methodology A parametric approach is established in this study to evaluate the solar energy potential of urban residential buildings in complex block environments, and then the influences of block parameters on the solar energy potential are quantified for building surfaces.
