Photovoltaic rooftop's contribution to improve building-level energy resilience during COVID-19 work-from-home arrangement.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic has introduced opportunities for more research in resilience as globally cities experienced lock-down, causing change to conventional energy consumption pattern especially in the residential sector. This study aims to quantify the increased energy demand during work-from-home arrangement, using high-rise public residential buildings in Hong Kong, where its government announced work-from-home arrangement four times in 2020. Building energy modellings were conducted to compare the total energy demand of residential units during normal and work-from-home arrangements, followed by validation against peer models and empirical data. A 9% residential energy demand increase was demonstrated, hence additional energy supply became desirable for the sake of resilience. This study assesses the possibility to leverage photovoltaic rooftop to supplement the increased energy demand. The photovoltaics' potential contribution was estimated by solar energy simulation and evaluated in terms of the capability to utilize its generation output to supplement the additional energy demand. During the four work-from-home periods, it was shown that a photovoltaic system could have supplemented 6.8% - 11% of the increased energy demand, mainly subject to the air-conditioning operation and solar generation. These findings are valuable to safeguard energy resilience in upcoming grid planning and operation.
