NaS, though, was found to be suitable for building scales of over 25 houses in all case studies. Depending on the building scale, household consumption and technical requirements, a careful investigation on a case-by-case basis should therefore be undertaken when battery storage systems are to be considered in architectural design.
In a parallel line of inquiry, energy storage systems require a certain amount of space to be accommodated. According to British Standards , batteries should be accommodated in a protected space, such as in individual rooms in buildings or cupboards and enclosed spaces in the interior or exterior of a building.
