The vacuum integrated photovoltaic (VPV) curtain wall has garnered widespread attention from scholars owing to its remarkable thermal insulation performance and power generation ability. However, there is a lack of in-depth, performance-driven optimal design that considers the mutually constraining functions of the VPV curtain wall.
Integration scenarios are evaluated through SWOT analysis and performance criteria. The performance of curtain walls is enhanced by integrating adaptive technologies. Energy efficiency and the reduction of carbon emissions have become the main climate goals for newly constructed or existing buildings.
According to the literature review, VPV curtain walls exhibit significant potential for energy savings owing to their excellent thermal insulation performance . Furthermore, the shading effect of PV cells can alleviate discomfort glare and enhance occupants' visual comfort .
Curtain wall concept A curtain wall is a vertical, non-load bearing building envelope, consisting of a combination of light metal and glazed components supported by or within a secondary metal structure. As an environmental filter, it serves as a barrier between interior conditions and external conditions.
Meanwhile, the lightweight design of the light steel components significantly reduces structural load on buildings, while also offering superior features such as wind resistance, anti-corrosion properties, and
