Coupling thermal energy storage (TES) units with TABE, denoted as TABE+TES, enables the storage of both heat and coolness energy captured by the TABE roof or exterior walls. Subsequently, this stored energy can be later released by the TABE floor for indoor heating and cooling, providing advantages for both the grid and the end user.
Our proposed envelope-based thermal storage approach can reduce the cost of storage for PV heating and increase the penetration of renewable energy in …
The findings indicate that the annual cooling and heating energy efficiency of low-energy buildings can be improved by an average of 27 % with switchable windows, and an …
This will contribute to a wider, more affordable and sustainable implementation of battery storage in a future energy landscape dominated by renewable energy. The methodology of economic evaluation described in this paper can be easily implemented in other FIT adopted countries and regions, such as those hold different …
And the temperature can be regulated by making full use of the sensible heat storage capacity of the envelope and latent heat storage capacity of the PCM. The new proposed coupled cooling method can not only widen the operating temperature difference of PCM, but also increase actual cooling capacity of SR and reduce the …

The results show that when the thermal conductivity of exterior wall is ideally variable, the energy-saving ratio can reach 7–15 % in seven cities, corresponding to energy saving …
The building sector is more responsible for the enormous energy demand, and a possible solution would be to select an optimum building envelope design. The analysis of the thermal response factors of the envelope is essential since the building suffers from overheating if it is insulated with high thermal inertia. The objective of the …
Cost-effective energy storage plays a critical role in PV heating to solve the temporal mismatch between supply and demand. Herein, we propose the concept of …
