Conclusions

  • radmap

  • pros

  • Prediction of the total irradiation (annual, seasonal, monthly, ...) on every surface by using a validated simulation code (Radiance)

  • Use of meteorological data (no timestep limitations)

  • Use of standard sky radiance distributions

  • Shading and inter-reflections are taken into account

  • Possibility to use very detailed models and even dynamic models (more programming is required in this case)

  • Semi-automatic process

  • Production of images that are easy to be read and understood

  • cons

  • If the 3D model is not available, it is necessary to spend some time in modelling the scene with the correct level of detail

  • It may be complex to define simulation parameters (need for a Radiance expert)

  • Palma di Montechiaro

  • About half of the building envelope (facades and roofs) is appropriate for the use of solar systems, despite building obstructions.

  • The majority of roofs are suitable for solar applications.
