Heating and Cooling Performance of Building Integrated Solar Roof Panels

Article Preview

Abstract:

With the high proportion of building energy consumption in the total energy consumption, it is of great importance to relieve the shortage of conventional energy resources and improve the building environment by incorporating solar energy into buildings. A new type solar roof panels were designed and tested in the present paper, which perfectly achieves the integration of solar equipment with building envelope. This panel can act as the construction component for building envelope and completely removes the double-skin mode for conventional solar equipment, as well as the functional equipment for heating and cooling collecting. Corrugated colored steel roof panel was tested under various climate conditions and operation conditions. The results show that in a typical sunny day the average heat collecting efficiency is 49% and the average cooling capacity is 100W/m2. In a cloudy day, the average heat collecting efficiency is 41% and the average cooling capacity is 84W/m2.
