The effect of geometric shape and building orientation on minimizing solar insolation on high-rise buildings in hot humid climate

High-rise buildings are experiencing overheating condition in hot humid climate. For a high-rise built form, vertical surfaces are the most critical to theimpact of solar radiation. This study examines the effect of geometric shapes on the total solar insolation received by high-rise buildings. Two...
