Abstract

To reduce building energy consumption and improve indoor air quality, this paper proposes a CdTe PV double-skin ventilated facade integrated with a thermal-catalytic air type PV/T (PV-DSF-TCPV/T). The mathematical model of the proposed system was developed and validated against the experimental data. The daily and seasonal overall performances of the proposed system, including the electrical, thermal, and formaldehyde degradation performances, were studied and compared with that of a conventional PV-DSF. Moreover, parametric analysis was conducted. The main results are: (1) The annual electricity outputs of the proposed system and the conventional system were 414.88 kWh and 105.88 kWh, respectively. (2) Compared with the conventional PV-DSF, the heating and cooling loads of the proposed system decreased by 10.85 % and 34.86 %, respectively, due to the reduction of indoor heat gain in summers and the increase of it in winters. (3) The daily formaldehyde conversion ratio and CADR were 30.84 % and 67.86 m3/h (4) The volumetric flow rate and the cell coverage of the PV-DSF both exerted obvious impacts on the proposed system.
