Original Abstract

The presented contribution is focused on the use of thermo-physical properties of phase change material (PCM) in a building integrated photovoltaic (BiPV) ventilated façade system. Two key functionalities of PCM integration into the façade are introduced: i. as heat exchanger inside the decentralized façade ventilation unit; ii. as thermal storage layer behind the BiPV cladding. The main objective of this motivation is to identify the influence of PCM implementation into the façade ventilation system on the overall building energy performance. Performance evaluation of this combined façade system is expected to reveal considerable energy saving potential as air supplier for the pleasant air exchange in interior spaces, as well as for decreasing operating temperature of photovoltaic (PV) cells.
