Potential of Air-Based BIPV/T Envelope Systems
Keywords: BIPV/T; solar air heater; transverse roughness; ribs; CFD 1. Introduction Building-integrated photovoltaic and thermal (BIPV/T) systems are a class of solar facades that either reject, absorb or reutilize solar energy for other purposes [1]. BIPV/Ts convert the absorbed solar energy into thermal and electrical energy. BIPV/Ts …
