“…The product is designed and a model is derived and validated experimentally (Motte et al, 2013a,b;Notton et al, 2013). FPC based STFs have also been considered as replacements for balcony railings (Table 2 (viii)) (Ji et al, 2015;Yang et al, 2013b).…”

“…Authors have reported a paucity of STF product options that are aesthetically pleasing or widely commercially available (Cappel et al, 2014;Farkas and Horvat, 2012;Probst and Roecker, 2012). STFs include STCs that are integrated into the weather line of the building (DOMA Solartechnik, 2015;Winkler Solar, 2015) or are attached proud of the façade as, for example, balcony rails (Ji et al, 2015;Schweizer Energie, 2015;Yang et al, 2013b; or louvers (Abu-Zour et al, 2006;Palmero-Marrero and Oliveira, 2006;. These solutions generally derive from common roof attached solar thermal collectors, configured in alternative orientation, colour, casings and forms.…”

“…Currently, buildings can be designed by integrating passive solar energy systems, such as windows and sunspaces, with active solar systems such as solar water collectors [6]. The concept of integration signifies that solar elements are used as architectural elements in attractive, visible (or invisible), and economical applications, and that solar collectors must possess the same lifetime as the building they are on does [7].…”

“…Regarding building integrated solar energy systems such as photovoltaic (PV) and solar thermal systems, many studies have been focused on application of solar energy system as an energy production system in buildings. [8][9][10][11][12][13][14] However, the studies mainly focused on improvement of its performance and there has been few studies on long-term basis performance. Since net zero-energy consumption is evaluated on an annual basis, annual performance of solar energy system of zero-energy or low-energy solar house can be effective performance measure and provide with valuable information to building designers.…”

This paper presents the details of the output and efficiency of the annual performance of building-integrated solar energy systems for a solar water heating system and solar photovoltaic (PV) modules of a demonstration near-zero-energy solar house that was constructed on the campus of the Korea Institute of Energy Research. The thermal systems installed in the house were a solar water heating system with building-integrated solar collectors for water heating and for part of the space heating, and a ground-coupled heat pump for space cooling and part of the space heating. Solar PV modules were installed on the roof of the house. The performance of these systems was monitored for more than 1 yr. The annual efficiencies of the building's integrated solar collectors and solar PV were 22.8% and 10.9%, respectively. The total annual solar fraction of the solar heating system was 69.7%, with an annual solar heat production of 248 kW h/m 2 . This paper also focuses on the efficiency of the house's solar storage, based upon intentionally varied drainage of hot water from the storage tank. It was found that the thermal loss from the solar storage tank has a strong functional relationship with the thermal demand of the solar storage tank per unit volume. For example, when the hot water consumption was reduced by half during September, the thermal loss increased to more than 70%, which would otherwise have been around 30%. V C 2014 AIP Publishing LLC.
