The global interest in nearly zero-energy buildings (NZEBs) has led to their establishment as
mandatory building objectives in Europe for all new constructions starting in 2021. The …

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 …

The ever-growing demand for improved energy efficiency in buildings has stimulated a
stream of research focused on innovative retrofit energy solutions. Laminated low emissivity …

One of the most important properties of a glazing system is the solar heat gain coefficient
(SHGC, or g-value) which quantifies the passive solar thermal gains. There are several …

With the increasing number of people living in cities, the demand for energy in office
buildings and homes is constantly increasing; thus, smart buildings were created to provide …

Radiative cooling and low-emissivity coatings are promising strategies for building energy
savings. Despite their potential, comprehensive assessments across diverse climate zones …

For heritage buildings, energy-efficient retrofitting cannot be applied with the same range of
possibilities as with existing buildings. Applying such improvements to heritage buildings …

Solar control films (SCFs) have been widely studied as energy-saving retrofitting for
buildings. To investigate the cooling effect of SCFs, a series of reduced-scale outdoor …

Energy-efficient materials are essential in buildings to reduce energy consumption, lower
greenhouse gas emissions, and enhance indoor comfort. These materials help address the …

One of the most important parameters that indicate the energy performance of a window
system is the thermal transmittance (U-value). Many research studies that deal with …
