The inclusion of photovoltaic (PV) technologies add extra functionalities in a building by
replacing the conventional structural material and harnessing benign electricity aesthetically …

A façade-based building integrated photovoltaic-thermal (BIPVT) system combines solar
photovoltaics (PV) and solar collectors for integration with building façades to generate …

In this paper, a new and powerful metaheuristic optimization technique known as the Coyote
Optimization Algorithm (COA) is proposed for the parameter extraction of the PV cell/module …

Thermal management in hybrid Photovoltaic/Thermal (PVT) collectors is essential to derive
electrical and thermal energy from a single system. Effective removal of heat gained by the …

In this paper, the energy performance of a photovoltaic/thermal collector equipped with a
direct PV air circulation device is studied experimentally and numerically. In this system, the …

PV architecture is the main form of low-carbon architecture, it has great significance for
realizing zero-energy buildings (ZEB) The photovoltaic (PV) roofing project is an important …

This paper presents a dynamic model for a photovoltaic thermal-compound thermoelectric
ventilator (PVT-TEV) system, in which photovoltaic thermal (PVT) collector generates …

Since building-integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) modules are typically installed during, not
after, the construction phase, BIPVs have a profound impact compared to conventional …

With the 2010/31/EU directive, all new buildings shall be nearly zero-energy buildings
(nZEB) from 2020 onward, with the aim of strongly reducing the energy consumption related …

External fixed shading devices are generally used to adjust solar influx radiation and save
energy in summer. However, they could block the beneficial solar radiation in winter. In this …
