“…The validation results also suggest, in line with [89], that the difference between the data obtained on site and the simulation results for different orientations is relatively small, allowing the behavior model obtained to be extrapolated beyond the simulation phase. However, it is important to note that the results are not entirely free from occasional uncertainty, as they have to account for climatic variability, which, in the case of Granada, tends to lead to rising temperatures in both studied periods.…”

“…The results of this study align with previous research [87,88], confirming that a north orientation offers good thermal performance when combined with low WWR. Additionally, the best results are obtained with a northwest orientation, in contrast to [89,90], which reported more favorable results for south and east orientations based on their geographical context. This emphasizes the impact of orientation in such studies.…”

The present investigation carries out a thermal evaluation of two rooms located in the Royal Hospital of Granada (Rector’s Office). This is a heritage building where have been done studies that allow the as-sessment of possible improvements in future interventions that guarantee improvement in en-ergy and regulatory compliance are decisive. This article presents for the first time, through energy simulation, the behavior of two rooms in two temporal periods, thermally extreme (summer and winter) and with opposite orientations. This has allowed the potential benefits to be considered in real climate conditions. The results demonstrate and quantify that considering the location, orientation, arrangement of openings, and inclusion of transition zones between the exterior and the interior, an improvement in thermal comfort is obtained. The southwesterly orientation is favorable in the winter period and the northeasterly orientation in the summer period. It is also confirmed that the arrangement of thick masonry walls responds adequately in climates with high thermal amplitudes, favoring the mitigation of extreme conditions. It is concluded by stating that the orientation and the construction components are the main responsible factors for the thermal capacity in this type of building. In this context, the use of non-destructive study methods offers valuable scientific support through the results obtained.

“…The performance of BIPV systems is affected by several parameters, such as building orientation, panel slope, solar cell type, ambient temperature, geographical location, and shading [30]. In fact, in terms of geographical location, due to a higher amount of solar radiation near to zenith, in tropical regions BIPV were mostly installed on roofs [31]. In contrast, in non-tropical regions, the amount of solar radiation near to zenith decreases with latitude, which reduces the electricity production in roof solar PV panels, while favouring the electricity production in panels placed on vertical walls.…”

Building integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) consists of PV panels that are integrated into the building as part of the construction. This technology has advantages such as the production of electricity without necessary additional land area. This paper provides a literature review about the recent developments in urban building energy modelling, including tools and methods, and the effect of PV systems on building outdoor and indoor environments. It is also intended to provide a critical analysis on how PV systems affect the urban environment, both from an energy and a comfort point of view. The urban heat island development is introduced and related with the existence of PV systems. It is concluded that data acquisition is still a weakness in urban building energy modelling, especially in what concerns non-geometric data, which leads to a major source of errors. The availability of data is a challenge because frequently they are not accessible, due to privacy, high-cost or other reasons. Also, methodologies to develop precise archetypes for creating urban building energy models are lacking.

“…Recent years have seen tremendous advances in this technology, which has established itself as a well-known renewable energy source with noteworthy advantages such as reduced carbon dioxide emissions, a quick payback period, adaptability to a variety of situations, and durability in adverse environments. Unfortunately, a number of variables that affect it-such as dust accumulation, reflection, angle of inclination variation, orientation, shading effects, radiation exposure, and temperature-cause this technology to display a comparatively lower degree of conversion efficiency [19][20][21][22][23][24][25]. [18].…”

Due to its widespread availability and inexpensive cost of energy conversion, solar power has become a popular option among renewable energy sources. Among the most complete methods of utilizing copious solar energy is the use of photovoltaic (PV) systems. However, one major obstacle to obtaining the optimal performance of PV technology is the need to maintain ideal operating temperature. Maintaining constant surface temperatures is critical to PV systems’ efficacy. This review looks at the latest developments in PV cooling technologies, including passive, active, and combined cooling methods, and methods for their assessment. As advances in research and innovation progress within this domain, it will be crucial to tackle hurdles like affordability, maintenance demands, and performance in extreme conditions, to enhance the efficiency and widespread use of PV cooling methods. In essence, PV cooling stands as a vital element in the ongoing shift towards sustainable and renewable energy sources.
