Abstract: The early design stages of urban planning have a great impact on indoor comfort and energy aspects. Alternative power supply options, based on solar potential, should be considered in the early stages of design, as they may constitute highly efficient substitutes. Existing software solutions for such simulations require higher level of detail from models, precise input parameters and have long, non-interactive simulation runtimes. This is in stark contrast to the rapid changes that happen to the imprecise models used in early design stages. The focus of the paper is the core concept, theoretical approach and the prototypical implementation of a real time, interactive algorithm focused on solar potential for buildings.
