Do VPV curtain walls save energy?
According to the literature review, VPV curtain walls exhibit significant potential for energy savings owing to their excellent thermal insulation performance . Furthermore, the shading effect of PV cells can alleviate discomfort glare and enhance occupants’ visual comfort .
Are vacuum integrated photovoltaic curtain walls energy-efficient?
Vacuum integrated photovoltaic (VPV) curtain walls, which combine the power generation ability of PV technology and the excellent thermal insulation performance of vacuum technology, have attracted widespread attention as an energy-efficient technology.
Does a curtain wall provide enough daylight?
The sufficient daylight provided by the external curtain wall has been shown to enhance the physiological and psychological well-being of occupants [2, 3], and increase their satisfaction and productivity [4, 5].
Which VPV curtain wall has the highest DGP?
It is observed that the VPV curtain wall with 10%, 0%, and 50% PV coverages of daylight, view, and spandrel sections has the highest average DGPs of 40.1%. By increasing the daylight section's PV coverage to 50%, the average DGPs decrease by 11.5%, while increasing the spandrel section's PV coverage to 90%, the DGPs only reduces by 2.5%.
What are exterior glass curtain walls?
Building exterior glass curtain walls serve as the interface between the indoor artificial environment and the outdoor natural environment, fulfilling the essential function of thermal insulation while also playing vital roles in providing daylighting and views .
Are VPV curtain walls mutually constraining?
However, there is a lack of in-depth, performance-driven optimal design that considers the mutually constraining functions of the VPV curtain wall. To address this issue, this study proposed a multi-function partitioned design method for VPV curtain walls aimed at reconciling the competing demand of different functions.
