Solar assisted electrical & thermal demand reduction in Saudi Arabia housing: Project team conference abstracts

The 'Solar assisted electrical and thermal demand reduction in Saudi Arabia Housing' research project will contribute to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s (KSA’s) renewable energy targets by addressing energy consumption in buildings (60% of consumption in KSA) displacing fossil fuel supplied electrical loads energy with those driven from solar photovoltaics (PV) solar thermal and a combination of storage technologies. This project funded by the Ministry of Education, Saudi Arabia was awarded to the Energy and Climate Change Division, University of Southampton and Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, King Abdulaziz University to undertake work on solar assisted electrical and thermal demand reduction in Saudi Arabia housing. This document provides the summaries of the 8 abstracts submitted under the Solar Housing KSA research project. This includes 2 for the ISES World Congress (SWC 2021) (25-29 October 2021), 3 for the 16th CISBAT Conference (8-10 September 2021) and 3 for the International Conference on Evolving Cities (ICEC 2021) (22-24 September 2021).
