Poster
Full-text available
In this project, we discuss the economic benefits of solar-based sustainable urban design solutions and their impact on the reduction of CO2 emissions. A neighbourhood in Barcelona has been undergone a feasibility assessment of a utility-scale photovoltaic system installed on rooftops in clusters, where PV systems areas are zoned to smaller scales....
