Comparative Performance of Semi-Transparent PV Modules and Electrochromic Windows for Improving Energy Efficiency in Buildings

Comparative Performance of Semi-Transparent PV Modules and Electrochromic Windows for Improving Energy Efficiency in Buildings

Advanced constructive materials, such as electrochromic smart windows (ECSWs) and building integrated photovoltaics modules (BIPV), can improve the energy efficiency in buildings. A good optical and thermal characterization of these elements is necessary to assess and compare their performance. The...
