Thirdly, authors analyzed the passive SPRBs and active SPRBs, where the active SPRBs are
more intelligent due to its flexibility and controllability. Based on the above analysis, to
realize the harmony between solar technologies and building appearance, authors put
forward building integrated solar energy (BISE) design in the consideration of technology
and aesthetics. The development and application of solar technologies in residential
buildings embodies the concepts of energy conservation, environmental protection and
sustainable development, and it will promote the development of building energy
efficiency.
