Abstract

The worldwide need for solar-access zoning policies is now critical. The use of solar energy in urban buildings is not first and foremost a technical or architectural problem. In recent years architects have done good passive and low energy design. However, much of it has been done on isolated buildings, often in rural settings where solar access is not an issue. Rather the issue becomes critical in cities where, without guaranteed access, individual buildings cannot depend on the sun. Since sixty percent of the world’s people are expected to occupy cities by 2030, how urban buildings use energy will determine how most energy will be used in the world. We know how to make solar buildings. We need to learn how to make solar cities. By using a concept of solar zoning called solar envelope, we can address issues of a right to sunshine in cities for energy and life quality.
