JAUE2022-092: A Review of the Application and Development of Naturally Ventilated Photovoltaic Curtain Wall in Buildings

Abstract

The main energy consumption of public buildings is focused on cooling and lighting, and photovoltaic curtain wall can effectively save energy for indoor cooling and improve indoor lighting, but photovoltaic curtain wall also has the problem of decreasing photoelectric conversion efficiency, this study takes naturally ventilated photovoltaic curtain wall as the object, analyzes its principle, studies its development status and advantages, and analyzes relevant cases, and concludes that naturally ventilated photovoltaic curtain wall can use its ventilation cavity in winter and summer to effectively improve indoor thermal environment, reduce building energy consumption, and improve the comprehensive thermal-electric performance of building photovoltaic curtain wall, which provides reference for the future development of photovoltaic buildings.
