“…[1] International roadmaps aim to convert energivorous structures to zero-energy or net-zero energy buildings by supporting a wider deployment of renewable energy sources. [2,3] If efficiently harvested and stored, [4][5][6] solar energy represents the most promising renewable energy source to satisfy building energy demands; [7,8] however, despite the increasing penetration of PV solutions, serving purposes ranging from water decontamination to electricity production, [9][10][11] buildingintegrated photovoltaics (BIPV) have remained a relatively niche market. [12] Since BIPV solutions directly replace building elements they must provide insulation value and structural integrity, while still functioning as PV devices that harvests energy efficiently.…”

The necessity to fulfil buildings energy demand with different energy sources lead to an increasing integration between building components and renewable energy sources. The development of new BIPV technologies requiring less silicon solar cells for active area is particularly interesting especially from a circular economy perspective. This work describes the design of five neutral color photovoltaic windows based on large area (0.61 m2) luminescent solar concentrators, which were developed by the University of Ferrara and Eni S.p.A and were installed at the Eni “Renewable, New Energies and Material Science Research Centre” in Novara (Italy). The prototypes show a visible transmittance of 38.5% which represents an improvement with respect to commercial semi‐transparent photovoltaic technologies, moreover the evaluation of the window colorimetric properties highlights a color rendering index equal to 93.0, thus ensuring an excellent illumination quality of the building indoor. The panel electrical performance was measured indoor, at the end of the assembly process, and on‐site, showing a power production ranging from 1.2 W to 2.8 W and an efficiency between 0.23% and 0.48% depending on the illumination condition and the background reflectivity. Although the generated power is limited, it is already sufficient to power stand‐alone small appliances and smart systems.This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

“…Currently, Target prefers standalone software development based on a C/S architecture that only supports the study of one file type (FAN Xue-Wei, 2023). During geophysical drilling and searching, various types of files can be created, such as XML text files, MP4 video files, SRT subtitles, and so on (Boschetti et al, 2021). The rock data contained in these files is usually relevant.…”

INTRODUCTION: With the advent of the mining digitalization era, the rapid growth and diversity of mine-side data make mining production management more complex. In this context, it becomes crucial to build a set of mine-side data integration and governance platforms based on data standards. The establishment of this platform aims to solve the problems of mining data fragmentation and inconsistent standards and to improve the efficiency of data management and utilization.OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study is to construct an efficient mine-side data integration and governance platform by studying and applying data standards to address the challenges of data heterogeneity and fragmentation. Through the development of unified data standards, the Author can realize the standardized management of mining data, improve data quality, and provide more reliable support for mining production.METHODS: The study adopts a comprehensive approach. First, a comprehensive understanding of the problems and needs facing mining data management was obtained through a literature review and field research. Second, data standards applicable to mine-side data are developed to ensure that all types of data can be consistently understood and processed. Next, a data integration and governance platform based on these standards is established, and advanced data mining and artificial intelligence technologies are applied to realize automatic integration and cleaning of multi-source data.RESULTS: Through experiments, this study proved that a mine-side data integration governance platform based on data standards was successfully constructed. The platform realizes efficient integration and cleaning of data and improves the consistency and quality of data. In practical application, the platform provides more accurate data support for mining production management and achieves remarkable results.CONCLUSION: This study provides strong theoretical and practical support for the research and application of mine-side data integration and governance platforms based on data standards. Through the development of data standards, an efficient data management platform has been established, which provides practical solutions for solving mining data management challenges. In the future, the performance of the platform can be further optimized, and the updating and maintenance of data standards can be strengthened to adapt to the constant changes in the digital development of the mining industry. This research has a positive impact on promoting the construction of mining industry informatization and improving the level of production management.

“…Densely populated areas (in particular commercial buildings) are the core contributors to building energy consumption and emissions [2]. The tailored implementation of Building Integrated PhotoVoltaic (BIPV) solutions has the potential to highly increase the overall building energy efficiency [3][4][5] while improving the quality of life under multiple aspects [6,7], especially if a more rational use of energy is implemented [8][9][10]. Considering the wide-range of BIPV technologies, their tailored implementation has the potential to improve the quality of human life under multiple prospects [6,7].…”

Considering the wide-range of BIPV technologies, their tailored implementation has the potential to improve the quality of human life under multiple prospects [6,7]. A particularly interesting BIPV application is the implementation of PV technologies in Double Skin Façades (DSFs) [11,12] or Ventilated Façades (VFs) [13], since, as identified by De Boeck et al [14], an improvement in the insulation efficiency of the building envelope is a key parameter to increasing its energy performance.…”

The increasing trend towards decarbonization requires the reduction of the environmental impact of the building sector that currently accounts for approximately 40% of the total CO2 emissions of European countries. Even though Luminescent Solar Concentrator (LSC) panels could be a very promising technology to be installed in urban environments, there is still little implementation of LSC panels in building façades. Here, the realization of a Ventilated Façade (VF) integrating an LSC device as an external pane is presented and a preliminary numerical and experimental investigation is used to evaluate the interaction between the different structure components. Thanks to the realization of a dedicated mock-up finite element method, models are calibrated and validated against experimental measurements, showing a good correspondence between simulated and measured data. Moreover, the electrical characterization of the LSC panel confirms that large area devices can be used as an external skin of VF, reporting a photovoltaic efficiency of 0.5%. The system’s thermal and optical properties (estimated thanks to the software COMSOL Multiphysics) encourage the continuation of the research by considering different technologies for the VF internal skin, by scaling up the case study, and by running the simulation of an entire building considering winter and summer energy demands.
