Integrated semi-transparent cadmium telluride photovoltaic glazing into windows: energy and daylight performance for different architecture designs (2018)
Journal Article
Sun, Y., Shanks, K., Baig, H., Zhang, W., Hao, X., Li, Y., …Wu, Y. (2018). Integrated semi-transparent cadmium telluride photovoltaic glazing into windows: energy and daylight performance for different architecture designs. Applied Energy, 231, 972-984. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.apenergy.2018.09.133

When integrating photovoltaics into building windows, the photovoltaic glazing modules inhibit the function that glass performs, with the additional function of energy production. Semi-transparent Photovoltaic (STPV) glazing will absorb part of the s...

Development of experimental methods for quantifying the human response to chromatic glazing (2018)
Journal Article
Liang, R., Kent, M., Wilson, R., & Wu, Y. (2019). Development of experimental methods for quantifying the human response to chromatic glazing. Building and Environment, 147, 199-210. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.buildenv.2018.09.044

Thermochromic (TC) windows have the ability to regulate daylight and control the solar heat gains that shape a building's internal environment. They therefore offer the potential to improve indoor comfort and reduce building energy demand when used i...

A review of Transparent Insulation Material (TIM) for building energy saving and daylight comfort (2018)
Journal Article
Sun, Y., Wilson, R., & Wu, Y. (2018). A review of Transparent Insulation Material (TIM) for building energy saving and daylight comfort. Applied Energy, 226, 713-729. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.apenergy.2018.05.094

Improving the energy efficiency of buildings is a key strategy in responding to climate change and resource challenges associated with the use of fossil fuel derived energy. The characteristics of the building envelope play a decisive role in determi... Read More about A review of Transparent Insulation Material (TIM) for building energy saving and daylight comfort.

A review of thermal and optical characterisation of complex window systems and their building performance prediction (2018)
Journal Article
Sun, Y., Wu, Y., & Wilson, R. (2018). A review of thermal and optical characterisation of complex window systems and their building performance prediction. Applied Energy, 222, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.apenergy.2018.03.144

Window systems play a key role in establishing both the thermal and luminous environments within buildings, as well as the consequent energy required to maintain these for the comfort of their occupants. Various strategies have been employed to impro... Read More about A review of thermal and optical characterisation of complex window systems and their building performance prediction.
