Solar energy is a natural resource that requires careful planning to ensure the energy is efficiently captured and used economically. In this session, we will explore the design of solar neighbourhoods, from urban-level planning to building-level design (Passivhaus), and local job creation through solar design and collector manufacturing.

Three short presentations will be followed by Q&A and discussions.

1. Workflow stories in solar neighbourhood planning tools by Dr Martin Thebault, Researcher, University Savoie Mont-Blanc – National Solar Energy Institute (INES), France

2. Dieselveg Passivhaus project in Graz, Austria by Prof Colin Porteous, SEDA Solar.

3. Local Production of Solar Thermal Collectors: Scotland’s history of manufacturing solar thermal products by George Goudsmit, Managing Director, AES Solar
