Abstract
Currently, approximately 60% of the global population lives in urban areas (UN. Population Division, 2018). Incorrect quantification of the current and expected energy demands of buildings can lead to erroneous decisions and misguided planning for energy supply. Additionally, society is transitioning to adopting more sustainable energy sources to reduce environmental impacts. Solar gains play a major role in energy demand simulations. Therefore, it is important to perform precise calculations of the solar radiation for a given area of interest. However, this energy source faces challenges, such as shadowing, which rapidly decreases the performance of any solar panel, and it is constantly changing owing to the movement of the sun across the sky. Figure 1 shows a sketch of the considerations for computing shadowing calculations and the components of the solar irradiance. [...]
