  1. 21. Transparent solar cell techniques: A profitability study

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Elektricitetslära

    Author : Alexander Cahlenstein; [2017]
    Keywords : Solar Cell Transparent P N;

    Abstract : This master thesis is intended to investigate the profitability of transparent solar windows which concentrates parts of the invisible light to a solar cell.This makes it possible to generate electric energy while the window still is transparent. READ MORE

  3. 22. Modelling and Analysis of Daylight, Solar Heat Gains and Thermal Losses to Inform the Early Stage of the Architectural Process

    University essay from KTH/Installations- och energisystem

    Author : Nicholas Baker; [2017]
    Keywords : Visual programming; BIM; Dynamo; Revit; Ladybug; Honeybee; facade optimisation; architectural process; early stage; environmental analysis; daylight; solar heat gains; thermal losses;

    Abstract : The EU building sector is a main contributor to greenhouse gas emissions, which need to be cut as part of the global response to anthropogenic climate change. This cut can be realised through improvements in building energy performance, such as optimisation of facade design. READ MORE

  4. 23. A Method for Driving the Solar Control Mechanism Selection

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Energi och byggnadsdesign

    Author : Vitaliya Mokhava; Christopher Nilsson; [2017]
    Keywords : Solar control mechanisms; Thermal comfort; Overheating; Solar control glass; Solar control blind; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Highly glazed spaces are continuously increasing in popularity due to architectural attractiveness. However, increased use of glass often jeopardizes thermal comfort in several ways and problem of overheating is one of them. A way to face this problem is to appropriately use solar control mechanisms. READ MORE

  5. 24. Engineered wood glass combination : Innovative glazing façade system

    University essay from KTH/Byggnadsmaterial

    Author : Alessandra Tapparo; [2017]
    Keywords : wood; glass; combination; engineered products; EWGC; façade; panel; sustainability;

    Abstract : Buildings require a lot of energy during all their lifetime, from the construction site to the use and demolition. The building sector contributes to a large part of the total emissions of greenhouse gases and consume a large amount of water and energy resources, so the material components used in the building sector have gained an important role in the discourse of sustainability.

  6. 25. SUSTAINABILITY ASSESSMENT OF DECENTRALISED SOLAR PROJECTS: INTRODUCING A MULTI-CRITERIA APPROACH

    University essay from KTH/Energiteknik

    Author : Ninad Mukul Mutatkar; [2017]
    Keywords : solar energy; rural energy; electrification; sustainability; indicators; multi-criteria;

    Abstract : Lack of energy access in developing countries remains a major barrier in the economic development of rural communities. Worldwide, about 1.3 billion people lack access to modern energy services, and there is a need to pursue ways other than grid extension due to the remoteness of most of these communities from national grids.
