Where it came from
Solar Energy at Urban Scale was published in 2012 by Wiley as a technical examination of the geometric and environmental challenges inherent in integrating solar energy systems into urban environments. Written by Benoit Beckers, a professor known for his research on solar geometry and urban design, the work serves as an analytical guide for architects and urban planners attempting to maximize solar potential in dense, pre-existing city layouts.
The book explores the interplay between solar radiation, urban morphology, and the shading effects caused by high-density construction. Beckers focuses on providing a methodological approach rather than a simple design manual, emphasizing the use of solar envelopes and geometric modeling to reconcile the conflicting demands of modern urban development and renewable energy efficiency. It is recognized as a scholarly contribution to the field of sustainable architecture.
