Technology advancement is enabling us to better understand how building systems are working in real time in real installations. This is particularly true for solar energy systems, which are expected to service buildings owners for 30 years or more. Solar energy systems are in many cases part of zero- and low-energy buildings, which need to be monitored for building performance. In many cases, government incentives are also tied into actual system performance, which again requires real time system monitoring. This seminar discusses how monitoring of solar energy systems is also shedding light on building operation and assisting us in validating many concepts of zero energy building design.
