Effect of Photovoltaic Energy-Saving Window Factors on Building Heating Load Under Three Control Modes by Jiayi Li, Jianmei Wu, Hongpeng Xu

“…The main findings are as follows: (1) When PV glazing is controlled, clear glazing layers become the primary factor influencing the heating load. (2) In Modes 1 and 3, the configurations have a greater impact on heating load, reducing it by 34.62% and 39.60%, respectively, while Mode 2 shows a reduction of 17.93%. (3) Mode 2 is the optimal control mode, confirming the effectiveness of controlling PV glazing to reduce heating load.…”
