“…In Yin et al [23] the energy savings from applying solar control films in a commercial building with large curtain wall areas in Shanghai, China, was studied by eQUEST software. The results showed that the solar window films allowed a decreasing of shading coefficient and solar heat gain coefficient by 44 % when applied to the external side of existing windows; whereas the reduction was 22% if the films were applied on the internal side.…”

“…The works of Li, et al [8]; Yousif [15] and Yin, Xu and Shen [16] investigated the potential of solar window films to reduce the energy consumption of varied types of commercial buildings in three different climates. The work of Li, et al [8] employed a methodology that involves an experimental chamber where actual measurements are taken and subsequently validated with a computer simulation to examine the impact of different types of solar window films on the energy consumption of various function rooms in commercial buildings under the relatively warm Hong Kong climate.…”

“…Additionally, the result claimed that window films application on clear glazing performs better than tinted ones. Yin Xu and Shen [16] used two case study non-domestic buildings in hot summer and cold winter climates, respectively, to investigate the possible energy savings accruing from the application of window films via a software building simulation of the whole building with and without solar films. Their outcome indicated that the performance of window films in glazed curtain wall windows varies and it mainly influenced by the position of the installed film and the window sizes and arrangement.…”

Abstract:Recently, considerable attention has justifiably been directed towards energy savings in buildings as they account for up to 20-40% of total energy consumption in developed countries. In the United Kingdom, studies have revealed that buildings' CO 2 emissions for account for at least 43% of total emissions. Window panels are a major component of the building fabric with considerable influence on the façade energy performance and are accountable for up to 60% of a building's overall energy loss. Therefore, the thermal performance of glazing materials is an important issue within the built environment. This work evaluates the impact of solar window films on the overall energy consumption of an existing commercial building via the use of a case study U.K. hotel and TAS dynamic simulation software. The study results demonstrated that the impact of window films on the overall energy consumption of the case study hotel is approximately 2%. However, an evaluation of various overall energy consumption components showed that the window films reduce the annual total cooling energy consumption by up to 35% along with a marginal 2% increase in the annual total heating energy consumption. They can also provide overall cost and CO 2 emissions savings of up to 3%.

“…It has to have its own power generation through renewable energy resources, and incorporate energy efficient technologies. For example, solar photovoltaic windows can collect energy [9]. At the same time, the smart building is connected with the smart grid, hence the excess energy can be provided to the grid or other buildings based on the established agreements.…”

Abstract-Micro-location is the process of locating any entity with high accuracy (possibly in centimeters), while geofencing is the process of creating a virtual fence around a so-called Point of Interest (PoI). In this paper, we present an insight into various micro-location enabling technologies and services. We also discuss how these can accelerate the incorporation of Internet of Things (IoT) in smart buildings. We argue that microlocation based location-aware solutions can play a significant role in facilitating the tenants of an IoT equipped smart building. Also, such advanced technologies will enable the smart building control system through minimal actions performed by the tenants. We also highlight the existing and envisioned services to be provided by using micro-location enabling technologies. We describe the challenges and propose some potential solutions such that micro-location enabling technologies and services are thoroughly integrated with IoT equipped smart building.
