In times of great transition of the European construction sector to energy efficient and nearly
zero energy buildings (nZEB), a market observation containing qualitative and quantitative …

This paper deals with the design of a single glazed flat plate Photovoltaic–Thermal (PV–T)
solar collector. First, the thermal and electrical performances of several single glazed flat plate …

Photovoltaic-thermal (PVT) hybrid collectors are co-generation components that convert
solar energy into both electricity and heat and represent in principle one of the most efficient …

In this paper, an experimental and numerical study is performed to evaluate the performance
of a photovoltaic thermal (PV/T) nanofluid based collector. A two-dimensional numerical …

Adaptive facades provide opportunities for significant reductions in building energy use and
CO2 emissions, while at the same time having a positive impact on the quality of the indoor …

A detailed mathematical models is developed for a fully wetted absorber photovoltaic thermal
(PVT) collector with and without phase change material (PCM) under its absorber channel. …

This paper provides experimental results on the performance of a grid-connected PV power
plant operating under dusty, desert maritime climate conditions using data from the first …

This paper addresses the simulation of a partially transparency, ventilated PV facade integrated
into the envelope of an energy efficient building. Such an arrangement exploits the heat …

A Photovoltaic–Thermal (PV–T) collector is a hybrid component that converts solar energy in
both electricity and heat. A glass covered water-based PV–T prototype has been developed …

The work presented here is an experimental study on natural convection flows in a differentially
heated open channel configuration. The applications concern the free cooling of both the …
