Photovoltaic Energy Potential Assessment within the Urban Morphology of Damascus


Abstract in English

The research problem is neglecting urban policies and construction systems to use renewable energy within urban fabric, in particular solar energy. And it aims to study the relationship between urban morphology and solar energy potential and its role in the establishment of more suitable cities in terms of energy, and thus guide the planning policies to increase utilization of solar energy within cities.
