Single storey steel building optimisation for steel weight and carbon incorporating asymmetric topology with photovoltaic panels

Photovoltaic panels (PV) are being used increasingly to reduce the carbon impact of new single-storey industrial buildings. This thesis investigates the application of PV panels in conjunction with an asymmetric building shape to optimise the design of a single-storey building for net-zero carbon. T...
