Integrated CdTe PV glazing into windows: Energy and daylight performance for different window-to-wall ratio

, 2019
When integrated photovoltaics into building windows, the solar cells will absorb a fraction of solar radiation that hit on the window surface to generate electrical power and thus obstruct the solar energy and natural daylight that would have penetrated ...

Optimization of energy transmittance through building envelope for hot dry climate

Journal of Thermal Engineering, 2022
Fenestrations of the buildings are playing an important role in the building's energy efficiency for the tropical climate. The energy that comes from the glass window into the building can be restricted by providing shading on the windows. So, to provide

Windows of Opportunities: Orientation, Sizing and PV-Shading of the Glazed Area to Reduce Cooling Energy Demand in Sub-Sahara Africa

Energies, 2023
In hot climates, such as sub-Sahara Africa, window sizing and orientation pose challenges as they add, through solar insolation, to the building cooling energy demand and thus the cause of indoor overheating risk. This risk can be reduced through passive
