Building Integrated Concentrating Photovoltaics: A review
TL;DR: In this article, a comparative analysis is presented of the main existing Concentrating Photovoltaic (CPV) systems' suitability for use in buildings, in which the different challenges specific to integration of each system are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Natural light controls and guides in buildings. Energy saving for electrical lighting, reduction of cooling load
TL;DR: In this article, the authors carried out a state-of-the-art study on the technologies or control systems of natural light in buildings, concentrating on those control methods which not only protect the occupants from direct solar glare but also maximize natural light penetration in buildings based on the occupants preferences, whilst allowing for a reduction in electrical consumption for lighting and cooling.
