This paper deals with the state of the art of advanced solar control devices for buildings, with
the comparative evaluation of solar-control systems and with guidelines for the development …

In the building sector there is a new tendency to integrate solar thermal technologies into
buildings. These systems are known as Building-Integrated Solar Thermal (BIST) and offer …

Solar building envelopes are attracting increasing interest. Building-integrated solar thermal
(BIST) systems are one of the subgroups of solar building envelopes. This paper …

This paper presents the design and the thermodynamic analysis of a new prototype of flat-
plate solar thermal collector, suitable for building integration, using water as working fluid …

This paper evaluated the performance of the building integrated solar thermal shading
(BISTS) system on building energy consumption and daylight levels through energy and …

Abstract Building-Integrated Solar Thermal (BIST) systems are a new tendency in the
building sector and provide multiple advantages in comparison with the Building-Added …

A dynamic liquid filled prismatic louver (LFPL) façade is evaluated both as a daylight
redirecting and an energy harvesting system. The LFPL performs daylight redirection due to …

We present the design and optical analyses of an arrayed microfluidic tunable prism panel
that enables wide solar tracking and high solar concentration while minimizing energy loss …

This paper presents a review of windows filled of water-based liquids which absorbs solar
radiation and will be referred to herein as water-based windows (WBWs). These liquids …

Two significant design strategies for mitigating building energy consumption are daylight
redirection and solar energy harvesting. Effective daylighting implementation enhances the …
