Thermal Performance of Ventilated Double Skin Façades with Venetian Blinds
Energies, 2015 Venetian blinds (VB) are shading devices of widespread use in residential and corporate buildings. They can reflect or transmit light into buildings and at the same time allow daylighting and exterior views. They can also efficiently block radiative heat

Experimental analysis of the performances of ventilated photovoltaic facades
RE&PQJTo reach the EU 2030 goals for reducing greenhouse gas emissions targets and achieving high-performing buildings, it is mandatory to increase energy generation through renewable sources. In this context, existing and new buildings should be equipped with building-integrated photovoltaic plants (BiPV).
