Abstract

Two approaches which important in sustainable building envelope design process are the orientation of the building openings and the use of Photovoltaic panel as renewable energy source. They are discussed in this paper. The first approach is the use of a simple sun path simulation sketches in building plan and façade design. This approach is important to control the heat gain from outside caused by the sun radiation and to define the building opening for natural daylighting. For this approach three country locations are chosen, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Indonesia and Malaysia. The second approach is the use of PV panels as renewable electricity resource. The panels can either replace roof material, form a transparent skylight or use as building glass window or facade material forming a vertical surface. Based on a research result done in Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM) Johor Bahru its implementation and the suggestion for PV electricity yield rule of thumb were discussed. It showed an example to determine the approximate daily, monthly or yearly PV electricity yield in terms of kWh.
