Transparent structured conductive coating for applications in smart windows.
Solar radiation reaching the surface of the earth for a period of one hour contains more energy than that consumed by mankind over an entire year. Some of this solar energy is already collected by photovoltaic cells to cover the electricity needs of buildi ...
EPFL2023Stability of inks used for masking metallic interconnects in BIPV modules
Christophe Ballif, Alessandro Francesco Aldo Virtuani, Alejandro Borja Block
The necessity to reduce carbon emissions has pushed European institutions to foster the adoption - for new buildings - of Nearly Zero Energy Buildings, which need to minimize energy consumption with energy generated on site. This opens up an enormous poten ...

2021Optimization of a hybrid solar-geothermal energy system at building scale
Building sector decarbonisation involves large scale integration of renewable energy sources within the energy mix commonly used to fulfil the heat demand. For this, to combine several energy sources and to control conversion systems based on a systemic ap ...
HEPIA Geneva University of Applied Sciences and Arts Western Switzerland2021Designing and assessing solar energy neighborhoods from visual impact
Jérôme Henri Kämpf, Amarasinghage Tharindu Dasun Perera, Giuseppe Peronato, Pietro Florio
The optimal diffusion of Building Integrated PhotoVoltaics (BIPV) in cities requires diligent planning to arrange temporal and spatial distribution of energy, while preserving the aesthetics of city landscapes. Benefitting from an increasing quality of 3D ...
