Considering the Opportunities, Tools and Technical Methods to Use Solar Energy Technologies

Today, energy demand is increasing globally and due to limited resources of fossil fuels for energy production, tendency toward finding alternative renewable resources is being observed. Since solar energy is one of the infinite and full of energy resources, it doesn’t lead to any pollution in environment. In this paper, opportunities, tools and technical methods for using renewable energy technologies in design and construction of buildings are addressed. Then, a comprehensive review over renewable energy resources and available technologies which can be used for electrical and thermal energy loads is presented. Moreover, notes and methods for application and implementation of solar renewable technologies such as solar electricity, heating and geothermal and their contribution to energy efficiency of the building in renewable energy projects are described.
