In this context, transparent building envelopes, such as Glass Curtain Wall (GCW), have become prominent features in large public buildings [4, 5, 6]. While glass curtain walls offer significant architectural and visual appeal, they are often criticized for their low energy performance, especially in terms of thermal insulation.
A multi-dimensional evaluation of the semi-transparent photovoltaic glass curtain wall and the LOW-E glass curtain wall is conducted. The study analyzes the advantages of using photovoltaic curtain walls in high-rise buildings regarding energy consumption, lighting comfort, cost, and energy efficiency.
However, previous research on PV windows or curtain walls has typically focused only on energy or visual performance. When large-area PV curtain walls are employed, interior lighting comfort and energy efficiency are critical, and therefore, multidimensional metrics are needed to assess their impact on the building.
The PV curtain wall is the most typical one in the integrated application of PV building. It combines PV power generation technology with curtain wall technology, which uses special resin materials to insert solar cells between glass materials and convert solar energy into electricity through the panels for use by enterprises.
The glass curtain wall is a system combining glass, framing, spacer, sealants and anchors into a rain-screen or structural-glazed envelope. Typical glazing options include annealed, heat-strengthened,
