✅ What am I working on in my EngD project? I'm developing a model and tool to simulate the behavior of a complex fenestration system (CFS) that integrates shading and photovoltaic (PV) technology. The goal is to analyze how this system influences daylighting, energy performance, and occupant comfort at the room level: ☀️ Daylighting ·       Radiance: the three-phase method for daylighting simulation 〽️ Energy Performance and occupant comfort through EMS ·       EnergyPlus: to simulate energy use and indoor comfort. Energy management systems (EMS): suggesting the control strategies for shading and lighting control. This project is a collaboration between Eindhoven University of Technology, TNO, Pilkington Nederland B.V., and Stichting W/E adviseurs duurzaam bouwen, and I'm working under the supervision of Roel Loonen and Roland Valckenborg.

After many trials and fails in building a #wind_turbine that generates voltages through a #triboelectric_nanogenerator, our Part IV students finally were able to implement an #Archimedes wind turbine with a mechanical-based sliding mechanism that was able to function at wind speeds of around five m/s in our small #wind_tunnel. The original design implemented vertical-axis turbines that induced higher frictions caused by the combined wind-induced moments on the shaft and the sliding mechanism. Nonetheless, it could be argued that there could be different methods to achieve similar outputs at slower wind speeds. The project is under investigation and could be considered one of the most aesthetic projects this year. The Project is supervised by Dr Kean Aw. #University_of_Auckland_AeroLab

Introducing a Review on Colouring Solutions for BIPV Modules We are sharing a detailed review article on colouring solutions for building integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) modules, authored by Alejandro Borja Block and colleagues for. This paper covers the various technologies used to color BIPV modules, their functions, benefits, and challenges. Key Highlights: 🔹 Overview of colouring technologies for BIPV modules. 🔹 Examination of coloured PV products, pricing, and power output. 🔹 Insights into reliability, stability, and future challenges. 🔹 Discussion on the social, economic, and environmental impacts. Specifically, the Kromatix™ technology is highlighted in the review: 🔸 Based on an interferential multilayer stack on the inner side of PV front glass. 🔸 Designed to minimize angular dependency of color. 🔸 Offers a variety of colors with minimal performance loss (2%-8% depending on color). 🔸 Examples include installations at EPFL and the Copenhagen International School. With the need for global decarbonization, integrating PV technology into buildings is a strategy to generate electricity where it's needed most, while maintaining architectural aesthetics.
