“…Many studies have devoted to investigating and optimizing the performance of thermoelectric device [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20]. These works can be summarized as following aspects: modeling and performance analysis of thermoelectric modules [5][6][7][8][9][10], solar-based thermoelectric technologies for generating power [8], waste heat recovery [10][11][12][13][14], as well as structure design and optimization for the thermoelectric device [15][16][17][18][19][20]. Recently, several review articles [1][2][3][4] conducted comprehensive reviews on the thermoelectric device concerning the materials, modeling, parameters, performance, and applications.…”

“…There are some Peltier's applications in buildings: (Arenas Alonso, Pagola de las Heras, Palacios Hielscher, Rodríguez Pecharromán, & Vázquez Arias, 2007;Cheng, Cheng, Huang, & Liao, 2011;He, Zhou, Hou, Chen, & Ji, 2013;Van Dessel & Foubert, 2010;Xu, Dessel, & Messac, 2007). The vast majority of these applications uses thermoelectric as a way to transmit heat between two environments at different temperatures.…”

Abstract. In order to fulfil the current challenges for the European building sector, building design has diverged into two alternative directions: active technologies and passive design strategies. In the last few years, advanced and responsive building envelope components have represented a promising answer to these challenges. This paper presents the design and construction process of a project that aims to design, build and control the energy performance of an industrial-scale modular active ventilated facade prototype with a new Themoelectric Peltier System (TPS). The TPS is a thermoelectric HVAC heat pump system designed to be located in the building envelope and providing a high comfort level. Trying to optimize the energy performance of the traditional ventilated opaque facade, and make more efficient the energy performance of the TPS, the concept of adaptability has been applied to ventilated opaque facades. The essential research theme is to control the natural phenomena that take place inside the ventilated air cavity of the facade: taking advantage when heat dissipation is needed, and avoiding it when heat losses are not welcome. In order to quantify the previous statements, some facade prototypes are being built in Pamplona (Spain) and their energy performance is going to be analyzed during a year.

“…Heat energy can be easily found in applications that govern potential and kinetic energies, whose sources are widely and easily available. For example, heat energy can be obtained from heat produced by the exhaust and engine of automobiles (He et al 2013;Stevens et al 2014), by mobile phones (Aminov & Agrawal 2014) and power plants (Merschmann et al 2013;Rafiee et al 2012), as well as from the natural temperature of surroundings, such as solar temperature (Liao et al 2014;Zhang et al 2014). Such wasted heat energies can be converted into electricity.…”

“…TEM modeling for heating has been insufficiently studied in the past few years, such as in Refs. (He et al 2013;Rabari et al 2014). Moreover, a heatsink is not used in dynamic conditions to allow the cold side to cool naturally.…”
