Abstract

In recent years, sustainable energy and green buildings are developed as important issues. Many helpful systems were developed to profit from advantages of different renewable energy sources. However, the research on disadvantages of sustainable energy systems is very rare and papers focus on only economic issues. In this paper, an innovative building integrated wind, solar, and rainwater harvester (WSRH) system was analyzed by nonlinear static pushover (NSP) analysis. The results are compared in terms of energy performance and its effects on the structural system.
