Skyscraper Energy Calculator.

- Abstract
This paper seeks to add to the growing collection of literature on skyscraper energy use, documenting on-site resource calculation potentials as related to overall collector sizes along a building's surface area. It suggests structures that can use their size, bulk, and physical location to offset total energy use, forgoing any number of complicated baseline standards. These features would better define net-zero aspirations up front, underlining alternative strategies that can be pursued from the outset of design. It also suggests utilizing a wealth of data available from contemporary ASHRAE sources and on-site measurements, showcasing the number of people a potential site could accommodate, as compared to predictive models based on expected user types.
