摘要
Throughout human history,our fundamental reliance on the sun has been evident in various activities,including farming,herding,fishing and hunting.Architectural designs have been profoundly influenced by the necessity to maximize sunlight intake,which is exemplified by the traditional Chinese architectural principle of“facing south with the back to the north”.This orientation promotes solar gain during cold months,enhancing the thermal efficiency of homes.Moreover,the introduction of glass in the building construction has marked a significant advancement,which has enabled the effective utilization of natural light while providing protection from certain weather conditions such as wind and rain.As science and technology progress,solar energy is increasingly recognised as a plentiful and environmentally friendly source of energy,both renewable and devoid of pollution[1].
