Chapter 5: Discussion
Solar technologies are divided into two categories. Dynamic sun situated essentialness
system is the use of photovoltaic board and sun based warm gatherers to harness the
imperativeness while, separated daylight based imperativeness structure is the technique to equip
the sun based essentialness inactively (Oró et al. 2015). Daylight based joined essentialness
structure is sensible system that merging all the sun controlled advances structure that planned
with the attempting to make the building greater imperativeness successful and reduce the use of
depleting imperativeness sources. Daylight based joined imperativeness system incorporates
warming, cooling, general ventilation and warmed water giving was created to the green
building, which recognizes high blend of sun fueled warm advancements. Except for solar
collectors, the daylight based energized composed imperativeness structure generally
