Building Energy Modelling for Development of Active Facade Panel with Solar generation and Thermoelectric Air-conditioning Unit

Year: 2020

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: This paper introduces an innovative concept of an autonomous curtain walling façade module. The façade module integrates functions of heating, cooling, ventilation, lighting, shading as well as renewable energy storage and generation to the façade structure. The main contribution of the presented research is the development and validation of a new numerical model representing the in-façade air-conditioner using thermoelectric cells. The model captures its hygro-thermal and electrical behaviour and provides a satisfactory agreement with measurements of an experimental setup.
