| Abstract | The development of smart windows for residential and commercial buildings is an attractive way to decrease energy consumption in this sector. These windows must provide low solar heat gain with a low overall heat transfer coefficient, avoid humidity and condensation in cold regions, generate clean electricity, and admit comfortable levels of daylight. Therefore, methods for integrating semi-transparent (or 50.8% transparent) CdTe solar cell strings-based glazing with structured-cored mesh translucent vacuum insulation panels and indium sealed vacuum glazing are described for modernizing smart windows. This paper contributes to the net zero-energy building concept, an aspect of a global industrial strategy for climate-change mitigation. This study reports experimental and theoretical studies on the thermal and electrical performances of six different glazing systems. |
