“…Greenery-covered tall buildings may offer advantages when it comes to boosting energy efficiency. These innovative designs incorporate vegetation and sustainable features that reduce energy consumption and promote a more environmentally friendly built environment [21,30,75,87]. The following details this notion:…”

“…-Natural Insulation: The vegetation on building façades, rooftops, and terraces acts as a natural insulator, providing an additional layer of thermal protection. This insulation helps regulate indoor temperatures, reducing the need for excessive heating during colder months and cooling during hotter periods [21]. -Reduced Heat Gain: Greenery-covered surfaces absorb solar radiation, reducing the heat entering the building.…”

The greenery-covered tall building, an innovative building typology that substantially integrates vegetation into the design, promises to transform urban landscapes into more sustainable and livable spaces. This paper explores the concept of greenery-covered tall buildings. It achieves its objectives by offering an overall introduction to this building typology, mapping out novel projects to identify innovative ideas and design strategies, and reviewing the social, environmental, and economic benefits of integrating greenery into tall buildings. Examining prominent implementations distinguishes purposeful greenery integration from “afterthought” additions, providing insights for architects, developers, scholars, and the public. Additionally, the paper discusses the downsides and challenges of integrating trees and plants into tall buildings, including construction costs, maintenance considerations, and adherence to building and fire codes, and proposes remedies. This research fosters a deeper understanding of their transformative potential in creating greener, more resilient, and socially beneficial urban environments by contributing to the architectural discourse on this emerging building typology.

Building‐integrated photovoltaics (BIPVs) stand as a promising solution to provide renewable electricity for achieving zero‐energy buildings, although still hindered from large‐scale implementations due to the difficulty of traditional photovoltaic modules in meeting the standards and aesthetics of architectural materials. The emergence of new photovoltaic materials and devices could pave the way for the future through offering diversity and tunability in colors and transparency along with comparable performance. Herein the recent advances in BIPVs are discussed, starting from an overview of various photovoltaic technologies regarding their material characteristics, state of the art, and adaptability to the built environment. The transparent and colored photovoltaic technologies are then respectively emphasized, concerning design principles, theoretical analysis, technical routes, and corresponding demonstration studies. The various strategies, including the materials and structures adopted to modify the transparency and color of solar cells, are highlighted. Finally, the challenges and future perspectives are addressed, followed by an outlook on factors that are critical for large‐scale implementation of BIPVs in the future.

“…Adicionalmente, el modelo requiere la toma de datos in situ de la radiación solar, información que se carece en la mayoría de las regiones de México, contándose únicamente con datos obtenidos de estaciones de medición más próximas a la zona de estudio que distan varios kilómetros, o de datos satelitales que presentan ciertos porcentajes de error (Grossi Gallegos, 1999). En el estudio (Osseweijer et al, 2017) se considera la importancia del involucramiento de la industria (proveedores, consumidores), la academia (para realizar investigación y formación de mano de obra calificada) y, el gobierno (para establecer regulaciones) como partes interesadas en el uso y promoción de los SFV, condiciones que se incluyen en el estudio propuesto.…”

World energy consumption continues to increase due to population growth and technological development; however, 73% of the energy used comes from fossil sources highly polluting for the planet, whose world reserves are being rapidly reduced. Using at least a smaller percentage of renewable energy could mitigate global warming and climate change and ensure global energy sustainability. Aware of this national and global problem, a descriptive energy model is proposed that methodologically includes the steps to follow to determine the viability of installing photovoltaic solar systems in any region of the world, through the analysis of the renewable energy resource available, of the environmental and electrical variables and, human, material and financial resources. The proposed model is developed and designed to collect, integrate, and analyze various sources and researchwork related to the joint subject as a comprehensive system that graphically displays and describes the information blocks to be obtained. As a particular case study, the model is applied in Nuevo Laredo, concluding that the necessary conditions exist to install photovoltaic systems. The measurement of variables in situ using special instruments and those obtained from databases or special software is considered. They are analyzed and compared with standards, manufacturer specifications, regulations, and reference parameters, making it possible to determine the region's viability to install photovoltaic solar systems. Finally, the application of the model requires preparing a technical report of the results obtained
