TL;DR: In this paper, a study of the appropriateness of glass cover on a thermosyphon-based water-heating photovoltaic-thermal (PV/T) system was carried out.

TL;DR: In this article, a metaheuristic simulation-optimization approach was proposed for the effective energy management of HVAC system, which can effectively handle the discrete, non-linear and highly constrained optimization problems.

TL;DR: In this article, five types of solar cooling systems were involved in a comparative study for subtropical city, which is commonly featured with long hot and humid summer, and the authors found that solar electric compression refrigeration and solar absorption refrigeration had the highest energy saving potential in the sub-tropical Hong Kong.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated the energy performance of double skin facade applied to a typical office building under the climatic condition in Hong Kong and found that a double-skin facade system with single clear glazing as the inner pane and double reflective glazes as the outer pane can provide an annual saving of around 26% in building cooling energy, as compared to a conventional single skin facade with single absorptive glazing.

TL;DR: In this article, an energy model of a PV ventilated window system is presented, based on the TMY weather data of Hong Kong and the daylight simulation capability of the EnergyPlus program, the overall performance analysis have been executed for different window orientations.
