Abstract

With the acceleration of urbanization, high-rise residential buildings have dominated the present residential buildings in which it has become an irreversible trend to apply the solar water heating systems. Taking the common layout models of the high-rise residential buildings in Jinan City as examples, this paper will create models with the help of sunlight analysis software TSUN8.0 to make a simulation analysis of the valid sunlight hours of the southern facade in these buildings, in the premise that they are in line with the planning requirements, thus we may work out reasonable layout programs for the solar water heating systems application into the facade of high-rise residential buildings under different layouts, which can provide the architects with basis in the design of integrating the buildings with the system.
