“…Regarding the customization level, four were purely elemental [51,52,80,82], eight were compositional at the module-level [64,81,83,88,89,91,92,95], and five were compositional at the façade-level [17,53,81,84,94]; eight studies combined all of the levels [55,82,[85][86][87]90,93,96]. Comparing elemental versus compositional level, studies can be more easily carried out using conventional PV modules without the requirement of a custom-designed module.…”

“…Statistically, nine of the cases focused on design of a custom BIPV product [51,52,55,[80][81][82][83]89,95], only four focused on a customization in the integration process [63,81,84,94], while 12 combined both product and integration concerns in their research [17,53,63,64,[85][86][87][88][90][91][92][93].

Technological advancement in Building Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV) has converted the building façade into a renewable energy-based generator. The BIPV façade is designed to provide energy generation along with conventional design objectives such as aesthetics and environmental control. The challenge however, is that architectural design objectives sometimes conflict with energy performance, such as the provision of view and daylight versus maximum power output. In innovative cases, the characteristics of conventional BIPV façades have been modified by researchers to address such conflicts through customization as an emerging trend in BIPV façade design. Although extensive reviews exist on BIPV product types, design integration, adoption barriers and performance issues, research on BIPV customization has not been reviewed as a solution to BIPV adoption. This paper seeks to review the potential of BIPV façade customization as a means of enhancing BIPV adoption. The current paper identifies customization parameters ranging from the customization category, level, and strategies, and related architectural potential along with an assessment of their impact. The findings reflect that elemental and compositional level customization using combined customization strategies provide enhanced BIPV products. These products are well integrated for both energy generation and aesthetic applications with a power output increase of up to 80% in some cases. The paper concludes that a wide range of BIPV adoption barriers such as aesthetics, architectural integration, and performance can be overcome by appropriate BIPV customization.

that satisfy the growing needs for compact, small foot-print, highly efficient and broadband photonic and optoelectronic devices. In other words, the development between SA technologies and lasers is almost isochronous. By 1983, several mode-locked fiber lasers with actively doped fiber amplifiers were demonstrated largely driven by improvements in low-loss optical fibers. However, mode-locking with a dye SA was unstable in Nd:fibers at the time. [5] The early 1990s saw the semiconductor SA mirror (SESAM) invention which was a milestone in the realization of stable passive mode-locked pulses [6,7] and stable Q-switching. However, SESAM progress was impeded by the narrow operation bandwidth, challenging fabrication process, slow relaxation time and most importantly a weak mid-infrared (mid-IR) response. By contrast, 2D nanomaterials can possess shorter relaxation times with a highly efficient broadband response covering even the mid-IR. The fabrication methods, nonlinear optical properties and applications in optics, biomedicine, and other fields of 2D materials are shown in Figure 1. 2D materials are now the spotlight of SA research applications because of these unique properties along with stable quantum confinement, higher mechanical stability, and an inherently small-footprint. [8][9][10] Graphene has been a breakthrough 2D NLO material for a wide range of topics such as broadband optical modulation, [11] optical frequency mixing, [12] ultrafast laser generation, [13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20] and surface plasmonic. [21] Nevertheless, the development of this material is still limited to some extent [22] due to its innate gapless band structure and the weak electronic on/off ratio. Topological insulators (TIs) reveal a large modulation depth. However, the fabrication of TIs is complicated because of their two elements composition. [23][24][25] Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) are unusable in the mid-IR region because of their large bandgaps. [26] In Group-VA monoelemental materials, black phosphorus (BP) is famous for the characteristic layer number dependent bandgap. [27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35] However, monolayer or fewlayer BP lacks of chemical stability at ambient conditions. [36,37] In addition, another Group-VA material, semiconducting antimonene, is relatively stable under ambient environment with a wide bandgap. [38] Bulk antimonene has great potential to become a TI as well as quantum spin Hall phase producer when the number of layers is under 22, respectively. [39] On top of this, antimonene is very chemically stable. It has good thermal conductivity, [40] high mobility, [41] excellent thermoelectric figure of merit, [42] and good optical properties, [43][44][45][46] which 2D materials have received significant attention from the scientific community due to their unique structures and excellent physical properties. A lot of applications are explored based on graphene, topological insulators, and transition metal dichalcogenides. With further development of 2D materials, other Group-VA...

Researchers have proposed and studied many methods to reduce energy consumption in the construction sector. However, simultaneous use of phase‐change material (PCM) and green roofs in a building with double‐ or triple‐skin facades (DSF or TSF) has not been analyzed to date. Accordingly, this is the first study to evaluate and compare the design of two scenarios combining passive and active methods, including (1) simultaneous use of a DSF, PCM, green roof, and photovoltaics (PV), and (2) simultaneous use of a TSF, PCM, green roof, and PV in hot arid steppe‐dry mid‐latitude (Tehran) desert biome‐dry tropical (Yazd), and mild‐humid climate (Amol) in Iran. It was found that the first scenario works better in reducing the heating load and the second scenario is more effective in reducing the cooling load. The results indicate that the reduction of the annual heating load in the first scenario was 49, 45.1, and 40.7 MWh/year in Tehran, Yazd, and Amol, respectively, and that the reduction of cooling load in the second scenario was 48.4, 31.9, and 16 MWh/year in Yazd, Tehran, and Amol, respectively. The 14 different modes of combining these passive methods and PV system were then compared. The results indicate that the second proposed scenario caused the lowest annual energy consumption compared to that of other modes and saved 70% of annual energy consumption. Consequently, the effect of leaf area index, cavity width, and orientation that are selected as primary parameters affecting the thermal performance of the mentioned methods on this scenario were investigated.
