Harnessing energy by designing buildings to maximize or minimize the absorption of incident solar radiation are ____________
A) passive solar energy collection
B) hydrogen fuel-cell collectors
C) Concentrated solar power (CSP) devices
D) photovoltaic cell collectors
E) active solar energy collection

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Passive solar energy collection involves designing buildings to maximize or minimize the absorption of incident solar radiation without the use of mechanical systems. This is the most appropriate option for the given scenario. The other choices involve more active forms of solar energy collection, which are not relevant to the question.
