“…The results showed that double‐glazing PV‐TW loaded with argon demonstrated a significant reduction in cooling load and room temperature, while the electrical productivity of the PV panel increased. Irshad et al studied the performance of a building integrated with PV‐TW in terms of energy consumption, potential cost savings, and CO 2 emission reduction for different configurations (double glazing, single glazing, and double glazing filled with argon). TRNSYS program was used in this study.…”

Global energy demand for the future can be met using renewable energy resources, and one of its harvesting tools is the photovoltaic (PV) technology. The combination of solar cell technology and Trombe wall is one of the most important research topics at present. PV-Trombe walls are receiving great attention because of their applications for simultaneous electricity generation and heating. In this article, a review of available literature covers different designs of a PV-Trombe wall system besides its thermal and electrical applications. The review covers in detail the influence of design and operational parameters including the glass cover, use of direct current fan, facade width, air vent, air gap thickness, thermal insulation, packing factor, coverage, heat storage, air mass flow rate, PV cell cooling, southern windows, and tilt angle of solar cell on the performance of PV-Trombe walls. Furthermore, comparison between the PV-Trombe wall system and classical Trombe wall as well as the applicability of this novel system are revealed. This review article is beneficial to engineers and researchers and can provide information for future studies.

“…In addition to the cost, the function, efficiency, energy savings and payback time are also criteria in the comparison. We have followed the equations applied by Jaber and Ajib in their economic model (Jaber and Ajib, 2011) and further developed the equations used by Irshad and his research colleagues in their studies in order to calculate life cycle cost (Irshad et al, 2014).…”

AbstractIn the coming years, it is anticipated that if we continue with the same pace of energy consumption, communities will continue to face three major challenges; a mounting increase in energy demands, pollution, and global warming. On a local scale, Egypt is experiencing one of its most serious energy crises in decades. The energy consumed in indoor cooling and heating is the biggest portion of total energy consumption in residential buildings. This paper is an experimental simulation study for building retrofitting in off-grid settlements in semi-arid climates, using Trombe wall as a low-tech passive heating and cooling solution. In this study, we made developments to the conventional classic Trombe wall using occupant-centered design and living lab experimental methods. The thermal efficiency of the proposed Trombe wall design is simulated during winter and summer peaks. In the proposed design we used gray paint instead of typical black paint in addition to 15 cm reversible natural wool insulation and two 3 mm thick roll-up wool curtains. The new design reduced the heating load by 94% and reduced the cooling load by 73% compared to the base case with an annual energy savings of 53,631 kW h and a reduction in CO 2 emissions of 144,267 kg of CO 2 . The living lab test proved that the proposed design of the Trombe wall is economically viable and the payback time is 7 months. It is recommended that the proposed design be monitored for a whole year to have an accurate assessment of its efficiency. A post occupancy evaluation is also needed to measure local residents' acceptance and perceived comfort after retrofitting.
