“…Ghosh and Neogi (2018) stipulated that, although glazed facades are progressively being utilized in contemporary buildings to ease interior daylight accessibility and also to beautify the building architecturally, the increased application of glazed facades is engendering a greater solar gain on the internal part of the building, which is gradually becoming a major problem in hot climate regions. References [27] and [91] proposed and improved an approach of employing building-integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) windows to deliver a better thermal performance. The development of building-integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) windows is proposed to be of great significance because it does not only generate electric power, but it also decreases the heating and cooling loads in buildings simultaneously.…”

“…The development of building-integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) windows is proposed to be of great significance because it does not only generate electric power, but it also decreases the heating and cooling loads in buildings simultaneously. One of the benefits of BIPV windows is that it has a great solar heat gain control ability [27]. In southwest China, [135] assessed a photovoltaic (PV) window and deduced that it could achieve an energy savings ratio of 83%, when PV windows were fitted on the south-facing façade.…”

A prerequisite for decreasing the intensification of energy in buildings is to evaluate and understand the influencing factors of building energy performance (BEP). These factors include building envelope features and outdoor climactic conditions, among others. Based on the importance of the influencing factors in the development of the building energy prediction model, various researchers are continuously employing different types of factors based on their popularity in academic literature, without a proper investigation of the most relevant factors, which, in some cases, potentially leads to poor model performance. However, this can be due to the absence of an adequate comprehensive analysis or review of all factors influencing BEP ubiquitously. Therefore, this paper conducts a holistic and comprehensive review of studies that have explored the various factors influencing energy use in residential and commercial buildings. In total, 74 research articles were systematically selected from the Scopus, ScienceDirect, and Institute of Electrical Electronics Engineers (IEEE) databases. Subsequently, by means of a systematic and bibliometric analysis, this paper comprehensively analyzed several important factors influencing BEP. The results reveals the important factors (such as windows and roofs) and engendered or shed light on the application of some energy-efficient strategies such as the utilization of a green roof and photovoltaic (PV) window, among others.

“…Changes in the emissivity of low-e coating had no effect on the window's performance. Numerous researchers have recently demonstrated the potential application of PV layer in glazing systems [71][72][73], with cadmium telluride (CdTe) solar cells being the most prevalent in PV windows [74][75][76][77][78]. Su et al [79] examined the energy and electrical performance of PVB systems by adopting four solar cells, including amorphous silicon (a-Si), cadmium telluride (CdTe), dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC), and perovskite solar cell (PSC).…”

Energy and Thermal Performance Analysis of PCM-Incorporated Glazing Units Combined with Passive and Active Techniques: A Review Study

The building envelope provides thermal comfort, an excellent visual view, and sunlight for the occupants. It consists of two parts: (i) an opaque (non-transparent) part (e.g., walls and roofs) and (ii) a transparent part (e.g., windows, curtain walls, and skylight devices). Recently, the use of fully-glazed facades, especially in large cities, has increased due to their aesthetical and structural advantages. This has led this study to review the performance of the currently passive smart glazing technologies. Phase Change Materials (PCMs) as latent energy storage material is the focus of this review, as well as other individual and combined techniques, including shading systems, solar cells (photovoltaic), and chromogenic (thermotropic and thermochromic) materials. PCM-integrated glazing systems have been extensively studied and rapidly developed over the past several decades from the standpoint of unique system designs, such as passive, active, and passive/active mixed designs, intelligent management, and sophisticated controls. In the academic literature, numerous studies on PCM-integrated building envelopes have been conducted, but a comprehensive review of PCM-integrated GUs combined with other passive and active techniques using dialectical analysis and comparing the climatic conditions of each study using Köppen-Geiger climate classification climate classification has been performed only rarely. Consequently, the primary objective of this study is to reduce this discrepancy for all types of glazing, excluding glazed roofs. This review article also contains literature tables as well as highlights, limitations, and further research suggestions at the end of each subsection.
