Buildings with a high window-to-wall ratio tend to suffer from excessive solar gains/losses
that usually result in high energy demand and discomfort for occupants. Solar control films …

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 transparent radiative cooling (T-RC) film with low transmittance in solar spectra and
selectively high emissivity in the atmospheric window (8–13 μm) is applied on roof glazing …

Application of phase change material (PCM) in the glazing structure can improve its thermal
performance by enhancing its thermal energy storage capacity. In this study, the effect of …

Utilizing hybrid nanoparticle-enhanced phase change material (Nano-PCM) in double-
glazed windows can improve the thermal inertia and thermal insulation of windows, but the …

In present work, optical and thermal performances of a PCM-glazed unit were
experimentally investigated compared with that filled with air, and the influences of solar …

Filling window units with phase change material (PCM) improves the thermal performance of
windows, but on the other hand it has a deteriorative effect on the optical performance due to …

Glasshouses hold the potential to improve global food security, but high energy costs are an
ongoing challenge in bringing them to the forefront of agriculture in warm climates. Here, the …

Recent research has been focusing on using various media in glazing cavities to minimize
heat transfer through translucent elements of buildings. During this study, the thermal …
