Photovoltaic cells in building facades convert solar radiation into electricity. Increased output
is achieved by integrating both light-transmitting (windows) and non-transmitting (façade) …

In the last decade, many studies focused on finding optimal design solutions considering
trade-offs between different aspects of building design. Accordingly, multi-objective …

This article discusses how incorporating semitransparent photovoltaic (SPV) modules into
buildings can reduce dependency on conventional energy sources, contributing to a shift …

Tourism has played a pivotal role in the recovery of the global economy, particularly
following the easing of COVID-19 pandemic restrictions. The image of a city affects tourists' …

Abstract Building-Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV) offer a promising solution to enhance
building energy efficiency and reduce building energy consumption. Among the various …

Transmissive concentrator technology can solve the problems of expression of building skin
form, maximized use of solar energy, and natural lighting inside the building that arise from …

With the global warming, energy crisis, and the increasing application of glazing curtain
walls, semi-transparent photovoltaic (STPV) systems have garnered significant attention for …

Despite the recent growth in installing photovoltaic (PV) systems in buildings, densely
populated cities with high-rise buildings have limited space for rooftop PV systems, leading …

We propose a technique that allows designers to develop energy-efficient buildings focused
on occupants from the early design stage. The technique integrates the physiological …

The characteristics of building envelopes impose significant impacts on indoor thermal
comfort, especially for buildings that possess higher portions of glazing. As a result, the …
