Although a transition from single-pane to code-compliant glazing improves building energy use from 22% to 25%, PV glazing with a PCE as low as 6% reduces energy use by more than 30% (Figure 4 C). More than 30% energy use reduction is realized across PV technologies. Increasing PCE reduces building energy use even more.
This paper investigated the energy conservation and flexibility performance of a proposed smart photovoltaic (PV) window in hot climates. The heat transfer coefficient of the smart window is 1.43 W/m2·K, and the solar radiation transmittance ranges from 0.38 (bleached state) to 0.08 (fully tinted state).
Savings in primary energy use and carbon emissions can be as high as 40% over substandard windows, amounting to energy savings as high as 37,000 GJ per year for a typical, highly glazed office building. The corresponding carbon dioxide emissions can be reduced by more than 2 million kg per year.
Energy use reductions over substandard windows are as high as 42% when using PV window technology with lab-proven PCE. A possible improvement of more than 50% is achievable for technologies with efficiencies that are possible but not yet realized.
