Gas with harmful effect and no noise is a kind of net energy and has good compatibility with the environment. However, due to the high price, photovoltaic curtain walls are now mostly used for the roofs and exterior walls of landmark buildings, which fully reflects the architectural features.
The photovoltaic curtain wall (roof) system, as the outer protective structure of the building, must first have various functions such as weatherproof, heat preservation, heat insulation, sound insulation, lightning protection, fire prevention, lighting, ventilation, etc., in order to provide people with a safe and comfortable indoor environment. .
However, there is a lack of in-depth, performance-driven optimal design that considers the mutually constraining functions of the VPV curtain wall. To address this issue, this study proposed a multi-function partitioned design method for VPV curtain walls aimed at reconciling the competing demand of different functions.
