Journal Article
Guiqiang, L., Su, Y., Gang, P., Yunyun, W., & Jie, J. (2014). Design and investigation of a novel lens-walled compound parabolic concentrator with air gap. Applied Energy, 125, 21-27. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.apenergy.2014.03.042

Stationary solar concentrators can be integrated with building façade and roof, which can reduce the area of solar cells and attain higher temperature heat resource, especially in winter for building application. In this paper, a stationary lens-wall... Read More about Design and investigation of a novel lens-walled compound parabolic concentrator with air gap.

Application of RELUX simulation to investigate energy saving potential from daylighting in a new educational building in UK (2014)
Journal Article
Yu, X., Su, Y., & Chen, X. (2014). Application of RELUX simulation to investigate energy saving potential from daylighting in a new educational building in UK. Energy and Buildings, 74, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.enbuild.2014.01.024

Daylighting is a renewable energy solution for illumination and visual comfort in buildings. Daylighting performance and its induced energy saving largely depends on various factors, including room geometry, window-to-wall ratio, window transmittance...
