Thereby, as few studies have been done by architects such as Ken Yeang on the amount of energy consumed in high-rise buildings, the author attempts to make viewpoints of some architects, construction builders and also users more clear about the influences of using passive solar strategies and active solar technologies on tall buildings.
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.
For instance, to meet the building heating demand, three paths are available: 1. direct use of solar heat generated through a thermal collector, 2. conversion of solar electricity to heat in an electric-resistance heater, and 3. running a heat pump using the solar electricity. The same three paths are available for Domestic Hot Water (DHW). Fig. 2.
Only if building heights are limited to 5–10 floors does the available solar energy, and thus the permitted EUI, reach 50–75 kWh/m 2 a. Therefore, we recommend that policymakers not require high-rise buildings to be net-zero energy, unless they are prepared to limit building heights to 5–10 floors. 1. Introduction
Conversely, the best-performing residential and commercial buildings have EUIs of 50–75 kWh/m 2 a. Only if building heights are limited to 5–10 floors does the available solar energy, and thus the permitted EUI, reach 50–75 kWh/m 2 a.
Therefore, by considering the use of solar passive strategies and active technologies as an alternative in high-rise buildings, this study tries to fill some of the current gaps as much as possible and its proposed fundamental message is changing architects’ and construction builders’ view in dealing with the subject. 1.1.

A research from University of Toronto suggests capping solar-powered buildings at 10 floors for net-zero energy success. The research has focused on high-rise nearly zero-energy buildings (NZEBs), aiming to meet energy needs via renewables. Most net-zero buildings are low-rise; tall NZEBs face difficulties due to limited space for solar systems.
A limited area for harvesting solar energy, low efficiency of technologies available, and finally low density of solar energy are the key hindrances that make achieving net-zero energy performance using solar energy difficult. For high-rise buildings, reaching the net-zero energy goal is even more difficult, mainly because of their large floor ...
