A holistic approach to energy efficient building forms
TL;DR: In this article, a residential solar block (RSB) is proposed to maximize solar energy falling on facades and minimize solar energy on roofs and on the ground surrounding buildings in an urban area in winter; thus maximizing the potential of passive utilization of solar energy.
