“…Several studies developed theoretical models validated with experimental. These models were used to find the adequate values for pipes separation and pipes depth within the walls [31], [33], [35], [37] water inlet temperature for cooling or heating [30], [37], water velocity and volumetric flow rate [30], [31], [33]. Modeling studies are relevant for the design of TABS because they allow researchers to find suitable values for the parameters mentioned above.…”

“…The average relative error to predict the outlet water temperature was less than 0.10°C, while the heat transferred to the water had a difference of 11%. Ibrahim et al, [33] varied the flow rate with a numerical model developed to analyze the behavior of the surface temperatures and the fluid of a chamber with TABS in the walls through which water circulates.…”

“…A building wall integrated with TABS can reduce the heat losses of buildings in winter. Ibrahim et al, [33] found that heat losses were reduced between 9% and 35% in the Mediterranean climates when a wall with embedded pipes was used. On the other hand, a building wall integrated with TABS can dissipate heat more effectively than a conventional wall.…”

In recent years, several alternatives for improving the thermal comfort conditions inside buildings have been proposed. Among these alternatives, Thermally Activated Building Systems (TABS) have become of interest due to the benefits this technology brings to the building sector. The TABS are embedded in different building components and exchange heat with building envelope to improve the indoor air temperature. This review presents relevant results presented in the literature on the thermal behavior of TABS, the different types of TABS configurations, and the main parameters of TABS studied such as pipe separation, fluid inlet temperature, fluid velocity, and volumetric flow rate. The potential of TABS to improve thermal comfort conditions and provide energy savings is also discussed. Further, this study presents the different modes of application.

“…Apart from the roof-based solar collectors, there are also facade-based solar collectors [5][6][7][8]. They make use of the building envelope for solar energy collection to produce thermal energy, providing an efficient way of reducing building energy consumption [9,10]. These devices have easy assembly and disassembly owing to their modular structure and two-points-coupling connection, thus leading to the improved building aesthetics.…”

The major challenges for the integration of solar collecting devices into a building envelope are related to the poor aesthetic view of the appearance of buildings in addition to the low efficiency in collection, transportation, and utilization of the solar thermal and electrical energy. To tackle these challenges, a novel design for the integration of solar collecting elements into the building envelope was proposed and discussed. This involves the dedicated modular and multiple-layer combination of the building shielding, insulation, and solar collecting elements. On the basis of the proposed modular structure, the energy performance of the solar envelope was investigated by using the Energy-Plus software. It was found that the solar thermal efficiency of the modular envelope is in the range of 41.78-59.47%, while its electrical efficiency is around 3.51% higher than the envelopes having photovoltaic (PV) alone. The modular solar envelope can increase thermal efficiency by around 8.49% and the electrical efficiency by around 0.31%, compared to the traditional solar photovoltaic/thermal (PV/T) envelopes. Thus, we have created a new envelope solution with enhanced solar efficiency and an improved aesthetic view of the entire building.

“…Some studies dealt with insulating panels based on silica aerogel [1]- [5], while others dealt with aerogel based renders and mortars [6]- [10]. Yet, other studies integrated aerogel materials in some active systems such as solar thermal collectors [11], [12] or integrated some active systems in aerogel-based products [13], [14]. Given the fragility of aerogel, aerogels granules are usually embedded in a mix of a porous material.…”
