This paper outlines a complete review on modifications made on the absorber plate of solar
air heaters in order to improve the turbulence and heat transfer rate, thereby efficiency …

Zero or low‐carbon buildings can be achieved through novel technology solutions and
integrating renewable energy into the buildings. One method of reducing the fossil fuel …

It is necessary to improve indoor air quality while meeting the indoor thermal demand of
buildings during winter. The transpired solar collector (TSC) is a solar energy integration …

A new type of unglazed transpired collector (UTC) incorporating phase change materials
(PCMs) is presented. A time-dependent model consisting of eight 1D PDEs is derived from …

A transpired solar-collector is a device, which is attached to building walls, that uses solar
energy to provide preheated fresh outdoor-air before it is drawn into the building through the …

In the current energy and environmental context it is imperative to implement systems based
on renewable energy sources in order to reduce energy consumptions worldwide. Solar …

The air is heated in an unglazed transpired collector (UTC) from three different regions of the
perforated plate: from the front of the plate, from the back of the plate, and from the inner …

The effective operation time of unglazed transpired collectors (UTCs) may be extended by
double pass (descending and ascending) air flow and by energy storage in phase change …

It has been reported that over a third of anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions stem from
the operation of buildings (energy production and use; heat and air conditioners). One of the …

Abstract The European Directive on Energy Performance of Buildings (EPBD) obliges to
accept measures for improving the energy efficiency in buildings. As buildings become more …
