Energy performance and occupancy-based analysis of visual and thermal comfort for transmittance level and layout variations of semi-transparent photovoltaics

Marilyne Andersen, Jan Wienold, Giorgia Chinazzo, Giuseppe Peronato

This paper investigates the impact of transmittance level and layout variations of semi-transparent photovoltaics (STPV) on both energy performance and occupancy-based visual and thermal comfort, simulating a reference office with a fully south-oriented gl ...

Color neutral nanocomposite nickel-tantalum oxide for electrochromic windows

Andreas Schueler, Josef Andreas Schuler, Olivia Valérie Charlotte Bouvard

Electrochromic windows can darken on demand to limit the solar gains entering a building to reduce the risk of overheating, while preserving the view towards the exterior. Yet, the switching speed and contrast as well as the durability of commercial produc ...

Coatings with tailored electronic and optical properties for advanced glazing

Olivia Valérie Charlotte Bouvard

Modern envelope glazing relies on nanoscale coatings to meet a range of specific needs. Low emissivity coatings can improve the thermal performance of glazing thanks to a thin metallic film. However, the conductive nature of this layer leads to an attenuat ...

Automated ‘Eye-sight’ Venetian blinds based on an embedded photometric device with real-time daylighting computing

Jean-Louis Scartezzini, Jérôme Henri Kämpf, Yujie Wu

Optimal shading control can improve occupants’ visual comfort and increase energy savings on artificial lighting and cooling loads during warm seasons. A highly integrated automated shading system is presented in this paper. Designed to regulate daylightin ...

Novel daylighting system based on advanced embedded optical microstructures for various facade orientation and climates

Jing Gong

The design of highly glazed building has become a worldwide trend in modern architecture. However, glazing may induce large thermal loss in winter while increase cooling load in summer, and it may also cause glare. In order to solve the problems, a novel m ...

A cross-country perspective on solar energy in urban planning: Lessons learned from international case studies

Maria Cristina Munari Probst

This work, framed in the IEA SHC Task 51 "Solar Energy in Urban Planning", presents an illustrative perspective of solar energy in urban planning through the analysis of 34 international case studies conducted in 10 countries. The aim here is to examine ch ...

Predicting the thermal performance of thermochromic flat plate solar collectors

Andreas Schueler, Josef Andreas Schuler, Anna Krammer

A thermochromic vanadium dioxide (VO2) based absorber coating is proposed. The optical response of the multilayered absorber is first simulated, then, the spectral reflectance of the deposited absorber is measured. The determined solar absorptance and ther ...
