Paper Abstract:
Advances in energy sources, cost factors, accessibility & maintaince. Discusses 2 solar buildings.
Paper Introduction:
It is probable to assume that one day in the near future, much of the world’s electricity will be generated by solar energy. Sunlight is decidedly advantageous over fossil fuels as an energy source in three significant ways; it is abundant, long-lasting, and nonpolluting. However, today the primary challenge with solar energy hinges upon cost effectiveness. Until solar energy can be made economical for businesses and private citizens, other fuel sources will retain the inside track that they have held for centuries.
Fortunately, solar energy technology has made great strides in recent years, culminating in buildings such as the Four Times Square Building in New York City- a building which is its own freestanding, environmentally friendly electric utility. Photovoltaic panels, gas fired absorption H-vac systems, high-
