Mixed – Solar Panels on Façade + Roof + Green Roof (top three floor of each building) Scenario (Case 3: Proposal 2)

Figure 13: 3-D view for the Mixed – Solar Panels on Façade + Roof + Green Roof

The solar panels on the building's façade facing all directions are taken into consideration for the last three stories of the building in this model scenario (Figure 13). A combination of green vegetated cover and solar roofing is also utilized in combination with the solar panels on the façade. As with the preceding roof, terracotta tiles are used as the roofing base since they have a high albedo value and surroundings covered with the same quantity of native vegetation to improve heat retention. In this case, high and medium insulation levels have been chosen. Aside from that, the scenario is like the actual model.

Materials Used - Moderate/High Insulation, Plexiglass façade, double/single/heat protected façade + Green +mixed substrate + PV panels + terracotta tiles Vegetation – Existing Vegetation with approximate height + increased native vegetation Roads – Asphalt Road with cooling paint Climate Condition – 33.8688° S, 151.2093° E
