HOME / Solar curtain wall of Western European buildings - CAPTURED ENERGY SOLAR (PTY) LTDCurtain walls are an increasingly demanded solution for building envelopes in the commercial sector. Despite the recent recession, curtain wall demand in Europe has continued to grow steadily. Office buildings constitute the predominant customer segment for curtain walls, accounting for over 55% of their European market share .
The architectural solution chosen for the curtain wall is based on a modular concept, achieving both aesthetic and functional integration with the main ventilation system of the building. The interstitial air cavity of a double-skin glazed façade is used for harvesting heat from solar energy and recovering transmission losses from the indoor space.
Office buildings constitute the predominant customer segment for curtain walls, accounting for over 55% of their European market share . Curtain wall technology is also being increasingly adopted in many public buildings, and even for high-end residential projects.
However, previous research on PV windows or curtain walls has typically focused only on energy or visual performance. When large-area PV curtain walls are employed, interior lighting comfort and energy efficiency are critical, and therefore, multidimensional metrics are needed to assess their impact on the building.
This paper presents the design and development of an energy-efficient alternative to conventional curtain wall systems, achieving equivalent transparency and aesthetics with greater
