Abstract

Highlights: A parametric model was built to analyse electricity sensitivity to solar radiation. Illumination sensitivity was highest during the early mornings and evenings. The designed parametric model is useful for understanding residential city blocks. The results can be used to design energy-saving measures controlling solar radiation.
