<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
12.0pt'>I am looking for information on high-rise buildings that utilize power
from PV panels on vertical exterior wall surfaces. What are the typical
applications for power from PV panels in existing buildings? Where can I
find technical literature on how this power is converted, stored and utilized? What
would be an estimate of the usable power per month per unit area of PV panel
for the East, South & West vertical surfaces for say 42 degrees North
latitude? Are there any studies of maintenance costs and payback? Are
there examples of how to show energy savings from PV panels for code compliance
and LEED certification using energy analysis programs?</span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
12.0pt'>Are there examples of how to show energy savings from double-wall
buildings for code compliance and LEED certification using energy analysis
programs? The model I am looking at consists of single glass on the
outside and double glass on the inside. The objective is to trap the
radiant heat in the cavity in winter and ventilate the cavity in summer.
Ventilation would be from stack effect due to openings at the top and bottom or
forced ventilation. Does the depth of the cavity space make a
difference? Is there a significant difference in stack effect if the
cavity height is one floor or two or more floors? What are the
recommended properties of the two glass walls to trap the heat in the cavity in
winter and maximize the transmission of light at all times?</span></font></p>
