One of the fundamental challenges in today's world is substituting fossil fuels with renewable energies. All the frequent practices have been intensified in order to utilize the earth and its environment as a source of ene. ••This study reviews the recent literature about the solar passive strategies. In a country's development, one significant role is played by energy. As fossil fuels encompass a very large portion of today's world energy consumption, renewable energies that cou. 2.1. World energy concernsIn today's world, energy sources have performed necessary functions, such as creating heat, supplying drinking water, generating powe. The Pinnacle or the Bishopsgate Tower is one of the latest Ken Yeang's projects, which totally illustrates the characteristics of his green and ecological skyscrapers (Fig. 4). It is a type of. Eventually, by considering today's global warming and world's economy, no one doubts that current energy sources are not interminable. So, the necessity of sustainable desig.

This kind of energy conservation might be meaningfully reached in high-rise building design. In order to evaluate high-rise buildings in terms of solar energy use, the author analyzes the case studies from both passive solar strategies and active solar technologies' aspects.
Finally, high-rise buildings have great potential to gain solar radiations because of their vast facades. Analyzing case studies illustrate that applying solar passive strategies in high-rise buildings have a meaningful effect on reducing the total annual cooling and heating energy demand.
How much solar energy can a residential high-rise generate?
In addition, the solar potential simulations also showed that for 11-floor residential high-rises with side balconies, the total annual solar energy potentials on facades were 3.3–4.8 times of the solar potential on roof areas (with 950 kWh/m 2 year for solar radiation on roof area).
Two specific buildings in Switzerland were taken as urban renewal case studies, the balcony railings of one case building were found to present as high solar potentials on the roofs and were designed with integrated grey-coloured PVs.
Compared to centralized PV power plants that occupy large areas of land, building integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) systems mainly use the building envelope to collect solar energy, which has become an important solution for energy saving and carbon reduction in the building sector .
Can photovoltaic modules be used in high-rise buildings?
photovoltaic modules, and in extreme cases, it can even cause res. The methods are challenging and expensive. Therefore, future research will able for application in high-rise buildings. BIPV with greenery. This review has undertaken a comprehensive its substantial implications for architectural sustainability. As we
