MIT researchers have created 3D solar tower modules that are capable of achieving a power output that is up to 20 times greater than traditional fixed flat solar panels with same base area.
This thesis was designed to determine the impact of three-dimensional photovoltaic structure on solar power generation. The research into this area of power generation is very appropriate …
The three-dimensional effects are caused by the higher stiffness at the corners of an excavation. The previous studies have shown that the three-dimensional effects are mainly affected by the excavation geometry (B/L) (Faheem et al., 2004), the ratios of the excavation length to the excavation depth (L/H e) (Finno et al., 2007), the ratio of the wall …
The impact of the geometry of the courtyard on thermal comfort shows incongruities, in terms of seasonality, with a high aspect ratio ensuring protection from the sun …
The study tested the effect of three main techniques are, shading ceiling color and insulation on heat flux. The study concluded that these techniques helped to reduce heat flux with best results of white painted. Prieto …
In fact, the proportions of the courtyard has a significant impact on the received solar radiation and the shading areas created on the courtyard facades, thus strongly contributing to influence ...
Courtyard design requirement such as the courtyard configurations, orientation, and natural features in courtyard buildings in UTM were investigated. Besides the design variants, courtyard usage ...
Two pathways of solar waste-water treatment. (a) Concentrations of different metal ions before and after treatment. The blue-colored lines refer to the WHO standards for drinkable water.
The optimized courtyard model, including variations on building materials, resulted in 11.16% reduction in the overall year-round energy consumption when compared to …
The three transects were 1 m from the south building wall at the center of the courtyard and 1 m from the north building wall, respectively. From the south transect ( Figure 11 A), we can see that at the entrance of the …
The concept of three-dimensional (3D) photovoltaics is explored computationally using a genetic algorithm to optimize the energy production in a day for arbitrarily shaped 3D solar cells confined ...
Two types of courtyard buildings were simulated with 200 energy models by changing the following variables: window–wall ratio (south, north, east, and west walls), …
The results are presented through time constants showing the response of the thermal mass of the building containing the courtyard toward solar radiation and night cooling and the effect of …
The Effect of Three-Dimensional Morphology on the Efficiency of Hybrid Polymer Solar Cells . October 2009; Nature Materials 8(10):818-24; DOI:10.1038/nmat2533. Source; PubMed; Authors: Stefan D ...
Investigations on the thermal physics mechanisms of the parabolic trough collector systems (PTCs) play a vital role in the utilization of solar energy. In this paper, a three-dimensional ...
This document discusses the passive cooling technique of courtyard design. A courtyard is an open area surrounded by buildings that allows natural ventilation and creates a microclimate. Courtyards benefit buildings by creating a conditioned zone through stack effect ventilation and reducing the need for mechanical cooling. Proper courtyard ...
Multiple green technologies were adopted in the LEPD, including circular building, innovative floor plans, corridor-type DSF [20], solar shading, three-dimensional greening design [21], etc. Their ...

courtyard reduces 52% of direct solar gain (Qg) when compared with the existing house (without courtyard). The simulation results explicate that passive approaches like courtyard and …
A courtyard is an enclosed or semi-enclosed space exposed to the sky and surrounded by buildings or walls [6]. Rapoport [7] stated that this tactic has been utilized throughout the history of architecture and was found as a common design element in various places around the world, including civilizations such as the Indus Valley (5000 B.C.), ancient …
1. Introduction. The magnitude and shape of wall displacements that are induced by a deep excavation depend on numerous factors, such as the soil and groundwater conditions, excavation geometry, surcharge load, existence of adjacent structures, construction method, stiffness and penetration of the retaining wall, type and installation method of the struts, …

By using the CFD program, this study has analyzed the thermal comfort statuses and energy performances of 7 different courtyard shapes in inter-courtyard and building …
The main study objective is the evaluation of the occupant thermal comfort in an air-conditioned residential building, energy load, and cost analysis, derived from different …
In the prepared BLC/MF, the three-dimensional porous MF substrate provides rich channels for water transport, and its good insulation ability is conducive to photothermal localization to reduce heat loss during solar evaporation. Meanwhile, the PVA/SA hydrogels not only allow the effective loading of BLC on the MF surface, but also introduce the efficient …
