Abstract

Large glazed space have several (climate) problems. IMajor nowadays is the redundant heat gain of this
architype. By Applying solar cells, the thermal comfort can be enhanced and the solar radiation that is blocl<ed is
transformed into electricity. In this way you have a double effect. For my graduation I gained knowledge about
PV cell technologies. With the thesis I describe how you can use this knowledge as a designer of a large glazed
space effectively.
