Minimizing solar insolation in high-rise buildings through self-shaded form

High-rise buildings experiences overheating conditions especially in hot humid tropics. For a high-rise built form, vertical surfaces receive the most critical impact from solar radiation. This study examines the effect of geometric high-rise forms against the amount of solar insolation received by...
