Solar heating technologies hold a significant potential to supplement or replace the fossil fuel-driven systems in residential and industrial applications. This paper presents techno-economic study aiming assess use of Unglazed Transpired Collectors (UTSC) coupled with an energy system assisted by Exhaust Air Heat Pump (EAHP) cold climates applied building cluster. The performance its component...

 In the preset study, the performance of a solar assisted heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) system in an operating theater building was studied. The yearly performances of the existing HVAC system and the system with the added solar collectors were simulated in terms of energy consumption and provided air conditions using a transient system simulation software (TRNSYS). In t...

This paper presents numerical and experimental analyses aimed at evaluating the technical and economic feasibility of photovoltaic/thermal (PVT) collectors. An experimental setup was purposely designed and constructed in order to compare the electrical performance of a PVT solar field with the one achieved by an identical solar field consisting of conventional photovoltaic (PV) panels. The expe...
