Solar Hot Water Systems in Architecture

As it is known, the aesthetical evaluation of the building depends on integrity and completeness of the appearance of the buildings that is constructed by properties of like mass, facade elements form, color and pattern features. So solar hot water systems effects the appearance and form, consequently the aesthetic of the building because of the efficiency needs of slope and orientation and the surface properties of collectors like color, texture and dimension. [1] Therefore, the evaluation of systems as an architectural component and consideration of aesthetic with efficiency and economy as a fact in system design have great importance for a healthy system-building relationship.

Today, in the context of sustainable construction the applications, that evaluates systems, as a part of the building as an aesthetical component beyond their benefit rises, on the other hand the existing solar hot water systems are still effecting the building and the city negatively with their ugly appearances in many countries.

This problem is composed of natural convention — open circulated annex systems, which users apply individually at the top of flat roofs for their specific needs, without consideration of integrity, completeness and harmony with the building. As these systems, don’t need major modifications on buildings, have simple constructions and low costs they have wide spread usage and mostly they are being manufactured and applied without any control which causes to

• Ugly appearance of the buildings,

• Low efficiencies,

• Unhygienic conditions,

• Visual pollutions and corruption of the aesthetic view in cities.

These complications, makes solar hot water systems a problem that has to be solved in concern of architecture and urban beyond their benefits and advantages. [2]
