A multi‐objective optimization approach to designing window and shading systems considering building energy consumption and occupant comfort

Engineering Reports, Volume 5, Issue 10, October 2023., 2023
Given that window systems and control elements, such as shading devices, play a critical role in determining a building's energy consumption and comfort, this article presents an investigation into the optimization of windows in four different orientations, along the four cardinal directions, for a typical office room in Tehran.

Carbon nanodot with highly localized excitonic emission for efficient luminescent solar concentrator

Nanophotonics, Volume 12, Issue 21, Page 4117-4126, October 2023., 2023
Abstract Luminescent solar concentrators (LSCs) are attractive for the easy operation and high compatibility with building integrated photovoltaics due to their low cost, large‐scale and applicability. However, underutilized sunlight in visible wavelengths often impedes the advance of LSCs.

Study on the operation strategies and carbon emission of heating systems in the context of building energy conservation

Energy Science &Engineering, Volume 11, Issue 7, Page 2421-2430, July 2023., 2023
Achievable district heating systems with CO2 reduction potentials. Abstract Coal‐fired thermal power must be flexible to enable the grid absorption of inconsistent photovoltaic (PV) and wind power. Combined heat and power (CHP) coal‐fired plants are the primary source for district heating systems.
