Modeling, design and thermal performance of a BIPV/T system thermally coupled with a ventilated concrete slab in a low energy solar house: Part 2, ventilated concrete slab

Solar façades: A review

“…Chen et al [58,59] directed outdoor air into a BIPV/T roof in the form of a DSF and directed the heated air over the concrete. Thus, solar heat energy was stored through the sensible heat capacity of the concrete; the system design is shown in Fig.…”

Modelling and simulation of Building-Integrated solar thermal systems: Behaviour of the system

“…The design, modelling and thermal performance of a BIPVT thermally coupled with a Ventilated Concrete Slab (VCS) in a lowenergy solar house in Canada was reported [59]. The system was adopted in a prefabricated, two-storey detached, low-energy solar house and the performance assessment was based on monitored data.…”

Thermal Analysis of Insulated Concrete Form (ICF) Walls

“…Rad et al [9] and Wang et al [10] have shown that solar thermal energy storage in the ground could reduce the length of ground heat exchanger by 15%. Chen et al [11] designed and modeled a building integrated photovoltaic/thermal (BIPV/T) system in a near zero energy building in cold climate of Canada. Accordingly, they have studied the effect of integrating a ventilated concrete slab (VCS) with BIPV/T system as an active TES system.…”
