Abstract
Global contribution from buildings towards energy consumption is becoming a serious and pressing matter in terms of sustainability and world economies. In addition, the continuous population growth influences the demand for building services and comfort levels significantly, ensuring that the trend in energy demand will continue to increase in the future. For this reason, energy efficiency in buildings is a primary objective for energy policy at regional, national and international levels. Standalone buildings using Photovoltaic modules on Direct Current can represent a good solution to stop climate change and a decisive input for the new production models of low carbon electricity. This article presents a model to help on the design of these installations able to keep current levels of comfort without any cutoff or interruption.
