Cost benefit and economic feasibility was also analyzed, in consideration of the OPEX and CAPEX, depending on the shading type.
Six influence factors of building envelope to building operational energy consumption are selected as follows: exterior wall type, window frame type, glass type, roof type, floor type, and shading type.
Forget the silk tie this Father's Day (unless we're talking a Fifty Shades type of celebration!).
The two sections may have different areas, glazing properties, and shading types and control options.
In this paper, the energy performance of the shading-type BIPV claddings is investigated under dynamic conditions.
Optimum designs of the shading-type BIPV claddings are reported for buildings with different orientations and window to wall ratios.
It is worth studying the effects of different shading-type BIPV cladding designs on the total energy saving in order to maximize the system's energy performance.
There is little available information about the impacts of orientations and inclinations on the combined energy effects of the shading-type BIPV claddings, including the power output of PV modules, the cooling load reduction of windows and concrete walls.
The following passive design parameters were considered in the optimization analysis: orientation, room depth and corridor depth, window-to-wall ratio of different interfaces, glazing materials and shading types.
The design parameters of the shading-type BIPV claddings, including the tilt angles and azimuth angles of PV modules, the window to wall ratio of the building and the overhang length, are discussed based on the meteorological conditions of Hong Kong.
