The study explores the impact of different urban morphologies of existing residential buildings on energy performance in four European climatic contexts and the potential for installing solar panels in these morphologies. Five different morphologies are analyzed through computational energy simulations on urban and building scale. The findings establish recommendations for energy optimization principles for decision-makers, urban planners and architects in various urban design scenarios.
