Summary
Using the commercially available Solar Analyst software tool, a simple method is introduced which permits the calculation of the solar energy exposure of a flat surface at any height above the street level within the complex unoccupied volume of an urban environment. The digital surface map (DSM) of an urban area is modified by incrementing only the height of the street (and not surrounding buildings) and running the Solar Analyst tool on the modified DSM to obtain the solar irradiation of the new surfaces that are now above the street level. The methodology is applied to two distinct areas of Lisbon and highlights how the solar potential map for each of the areas evolves comparatively as a function of height above the street level.
