On the other hand, the BAPV energy self-consumption hasn’t been thoroughly examined considering the overall energy consumption requirement. Therefore, presented in this communication are the viability of PVL to produce electricity from solar energy and insights on modulating and improving energy harvesting efficiency. To accomplish this objective, three major factors were considered: 1) the photovoltaic (PV) positioning;2) the solar tracking scenario;and 3) the mechanistic system energy consumption. The overall louver energy generation was thoroughly scrutinized from the net energy conception of the BAPV up to the mechanistic module energy expenditure. This work intends to provide insights into the economic feasibility of BAPV assessing its technological profitability in the specified location and building size.展开更多

Despite the important role of these sources of energy in mankind progress, their destructive impacts on human life should be considered and traditional environment saving methods have been proposed again. In the old ages, buildings were constructed corresponding to their climate and environment. However, after emergence of modern architecture, everything changed environmental elements which made life beautiful, like wind, sunlight and rain and dependence on mechanical ventilation systems increased rapidly. Therefore, it is clear that traditional solutions should also be changed along with modern considerations, just as traditional louvers have been replaced by modern solar louvers. This study deals with an important ventilation element i.e. traditional louver in warm and arid areas and the way it has been changed and applied in contemporary buildings.展开更多
