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>

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>
