Abstract
With the rapid development of urbanization, the energy consumption problem has attracted more and more attention. Solar energy, a kind of inexhaustible renewable energy, has played an important role in the energy sector. Solar energy can be used through the solar thermal transformation process and solar photovoltaic process. Then, the heat and electricity gained by those two processes can be used for many urban building applications, such as heating, cooling, hot water, and power supply. In this chapter, a detailed introduction on solar heating and cooling and domestic hot water applications for urban buildings is presented, which includes the integration of solar collectors with buildings, solar domestic hot water, space heating, and cooling applications for buildings and building-integrated photovoltaics.
