“…At the same time, choosing a rational airflow path is critical for the energy saving of a façade operation. At the same time, it is crucial to establish monitoring systems and mode-switching mechanisms-such as an air source decision program or an air velocity decision procedure [40].…”

PV windows are seen as potential candidates for conventional windows. Improving the comprehensive performance of PV windows in terms of electrical, optical, and heat transfer has received increasing attention. This paper reviews the development of BIPV façade technologies and summarizes the related experimental and simulation studies. Based on the results of the literature research, the average comprehensive energy-saving rate of BIPV façades can reach 37.18%. Furthermore, limitations and optimization directions of photovoltaic integrated shading devices (PVSDs), photovoltaic double-skin façades, and photovoltaic windows are presented. To improve the energy-saving potential of windows as non-energy efficiency elements of buildings, smart PV windows are proposed to be the key to breakthrough comprehensive performance. However, not all switchable windows concepts can be applied to PV windows. Typical studies on smart windows and PV windows are sorted out to summarize the challenges and optimization of smart PV window technical solutions. Considering the technological innovations in smart PV windows, two requirements of energy-saving materials and building envelopes are put forward. The advances in materials and the building envelope are complementary, which will promote the sophistication and promotion of solar building technology.

“…A heating channel is spontaneously formed in the cavity of the double-skin façade system under solar radiation, and the airflow in the channel is restricted from the bottom to the top, which provides layout space for placing porous materials [18]. In recent years, researchers [19][20][21][22] have begun to integrate various functional materials with the micro-environment inside the double-skin façade system for solving various urgent problems. The concept mentioned in the above studies is also consistent with the research concept of the present study, i.e., the full use of the airflow movement inside the double-skin façade system to realize the zero-energy control of particulate matter.…”

This study introduces an innovative double-skin façade system integrated with porous materials (DSF-PM) designed to combat air pollution by purifying atmospheric particulate matter without energy consumption. By evaluating three installation strategies—vertical, horizontal, and cross placement—and examining porous materials with pore sizes of 0.5 mm, 1 mm, and 2 mm through a validated computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model, we optimized the DSF-PM system for enhanced particulate matter purification. Our findings reveal that positioning the porous material on both airflow sides with a pore size of 1 mm yields the best purification performance. The seasonal performance analysis demonstrates that the DSF-PM system achieves an average annual purification efficiency of 26.24% for particles larger than 5 µm, surpassing 20% efficiency, comparable to primary filters in global standards, with zero energy input. This passive double-skin façade system, leveraging solar-driven natural convection, emerges as a sustainable solution for ambient air purification in urban environments.
