Building simulations showed up to 206.7 kWh/m 2 /year energy demand reduction. Transparent photovoltaic curtain walls provided dual functionality by generating energy while regulating indoor optical and thermal conditions, representing a promising solution for sustainable architecture, particularly in the near-infrared (NIR) region.
This work presented a systematic study of PSC-based curtain walls for building energy applications. A semi-transparent perovskite solar cell (ST-PSC) with high infrared transmittance and PEAI surface passivation is developed for building-integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) fenestration structure.
Ultimately, global energy modeling demonstrated that applying climate-adaptive PSC curtain wall strategies can reduce energy consumption by 117.22–206.69 kWh/m 2 /y, highlighting the potential of the optimized PSC devices for energy-efficient and carbon-neutral buildings across all climate zones. 2. Results and discussion 2.1.
Specifically, ST-PSC curtain walls were particularly advantageous in colder climates where heating demands dominate. For instance, in climate zone 8, a single south-facing ST-PSC curtain wall yielded a net thermal energy saving of 46.20 GJ/y, driven by a 46.37 GJ reduction in heating demand and only a minor 0.17 GJ increase in cooling load.
