Simulation study of a naturally-ventilated building integrated photovoltaic/thermal (BIPV/T) envelope

This paper addresses the simulation of a partially transparency, ventilated PV facade integrated into the envelope of an energy efficient building. Such an arrangement exploits the heat transfer between cavity air, the PV façade and the primary wall of the building for the purpose of PV cooling in s...
