Avoiding snow and ice accretion on building integrated photovoltaics - challenges, strategies, and opportunities
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)As building integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) are becoming increasingly popular, the demand for optimized utilization will be increasing with respect to efficiency, aesthetics and reliability. In cold climate regions, we ... -
Building Integrated Photovoltaic Products: A State-of-the-Art Review and Future Research Opportunities
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012)Building integrated photovoltaics (BIPVs) are photovoltaic (PV) modules integrated into the building envelope and hence also replacing traditional parts of the building envelope, e.g. the roofing. In this context, the BIPVs ... -
Comparison of the Energy Saving Potential of Adaptive and Controllable Smart Windows: A State-of-the-Art Review and Simulation Studies of Thermochromic, Photochromic and Electrochromic Technologies
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Windows play a huge role in today’s buildings, allowing for outside view and providing occupants with daylight. However, windows are also often considered to be one of the weakest building components with respect to high ... -
Electrochromism of Hexagonal Sodium Tungsten Bronze Nanorods
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Single-crystalline sodium tungsten bronze (Na-WO3) nanorods with typical diameters of 10–200 nm and lengths of several microns have been prepared via a simple hydrothermal method. The as-prepared Na-WO3 nanorods crystallize ... -
Fenestration of Today and Tomorrow: A State-of-the-Art Review and Future Research Opportunities
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012)Fenestration of today is continuously being developed into the fenestration of tomorrow, hence offering a steadily increase of daylight and solar energy utilization and control, and at the same time providing a necessary ... -
Properties, Requirements and Possibilities of Smart Windows for Dynamic Daylight and Solar Energy Control in Buildings: A State-of-the-Art Review
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2010)A survey on prototype and currently commercial dynamic tintable smart windows has been carried out. The technologies of electrochromic, gasochromic, liquid crystal and electrophoretic or suspended-particle devices were ... -
Self-cleaning glazing products: A state-of-the-art review and future research pathways
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)Self-cleaning technology is used in a variety of products today, with glazing products being the foremost area of application. However, there are several self-cleaning technologies in use and their self-cleaning efficiency ... -
Solar material protection factor (SMPF) and solar skin protection factor (SSPF) for window panes and other glass sructures in buildings
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2007)The two quantities solar material protection factor (SMPF) and solar skin protection factor (SSPF) are introduced in order to measure and calculate the capability of glass to protect indoor materials and human skin from ... -
Solar radiation glazing factors for window panes, glass structures and electrochromic windows in buildings-Measurement and calculation
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)Window panes, glass structures and electrochromic windows in buildings may be characterised by a number of solar radiation glazing factors, i.e. ultraviolet solar transmittance, visible solar transmittance, solar transmittance, ...
