Description:
The aim of this thesis is to analyze the economic and environmental effects of the application of a photovoltaic system to the exhibition and convention building (EXCO). To determine the economic and environmental effects of the building, energy consumption data should be obtained. Three sides of the EXCO are assumed to be good places of a photovoltaic system. In order to understand the investment cost, the number of years required to recover the cost has to be calculated. In an environmental evaluation, the amount of carbon dioxide is also calculated over a period of time of 5,10,15 years.
