Solar Construction – The Symbiosis of Solar Architecture and Solar Energy Use

Solar-oriented construction means more than just retrofitting solar panels. The focus is on a holistic planning approach in which architecture, building orientation, energy efficiency, and active solar energy utilization are considered together from the very beginning.

FASA AG, based in Chemnitz, provides insights into the connection between solar architecture and solar energy use. The presentation demonstrates how buildings can utilize solar energy both passively through their architectural design and actively to generate heat and electricity. In this way, solar-oriented construction becomes a key component of energy-efficient, climate-friendly, and sustainable buildings.
