Agriculture The agricultural industry will be adversely affected by lower water supplies and increased weather variability, including extreme heat and drought. Forestry Increase in summer heat and dryness is likely to result in forest fires, insect population increase, and disease. Solar Power Technology 31 Electrical Energy Increased summer heat is likely to cause an increase in the demand for electricity due to increased reliance on air conditioning. Reduced snow pack is likely to decrease the availability of hydroelectric supplies.
Photovoltaic Pane Tilt Angle Stanchion or roof tilts for best efficiency must be tilted at an angle to provide maximum insolation. Solar Exposure To ensure complete solar exposure to the suns, PV cells should be installed in locations that avoid building or tree shades. Windows The amount of window surface on the south wall is optimally about 7% of the homes total square footage. For example, a 3000 square foot house, excluding Solar Power Technology 21 the window trims, should have about 210 square feet of glass.
The above design criteria apply to conventional home constructions, which use wall-to-wall carpeting. To avoid overheating, the amount of window surface should not exceed 7% since it will create unnecessary overheating. ). East wall and north wall window surfaces should be limited to a maximum of 4% of the total square footage. West window glass surface areas must be limited to 2% of the total square footage. Additional design consideration should include structural slab insulation (Sole Plate), wall insulation, and attic insulation (R-30 blown insulation for moderate climates, R-40 and 50 for colder).
