As a design guideline in selecting energy saving windows, an optimized window system for each climate is plotted in detailed charts and tables.
Finally, the energy saving potential of the optimized PV IGU compared to the other commonly used window systems was evaluated.
It was found that the energy saving potential of the optimized PV IGU was 25.3% and 10.7%, respectively, compared to the single clear glass window and the Low-E glass window.
A feasible optimized energy-saving ventilation strategy is put forward, which utilizes natural wind and will minimize the operation energy consumption.
In this context, the integration of optimized Semi-Transparent Photovoltaic (STPV) elements seems to present a promising energy saving potential, leading to significant reductions of the heating, cooling and lighting loads while the on-site electricity generation is supplied.
In this study, an optimized process for in-depth exhaust steam utilization was proposed to further exploit the energy saving potential of CHP unit.
After obtaining the annual energy saving conferred by the measure (calculated via the difference between original and optimized consumptions and extrapolated for 1 year of homogeneous activity), payback time for the investment was estimated using Eq. 15.
The interior temperatures and energy saving effects of glazed balconies are, however, not particularly good in Finland, because the implemented solutions are not optimized for these issues.
In the conclusion, how to further improve the energy saving rate will be put forward together with the improvements for hydraulic stability balance as a reference of optimized engineering design.
Advanced concepts for energy saving.
A few papers address energy saving explicitly.
