Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of power-generating glass curtain wall technology, and more specifically, to a power-generating glass curtain wall system that can replace aluminum panel curtain walls or stone curtain walls. Background Technology
[0002] With increasingly stringent requirements for building energy conservation, curtain wall systems, as an important component of building facades, function not only in decoration and protection but also in regulating the internal and external environments of buildings. Traditional curtain wall systems often use aluminum panel curtain walls or stone curtain walls, materials with strong decorative effects and durability, and are widely used in the facades of commercial buildings and public facilities. However, while these curtain wall materials meet the needs of aesthetics and protection to a certain extent, they have many shortcomings in terms of energy conservation.
[0003] The application of aluminum panel curtain walls and stone curtain walls is mainly concentrated on the east and west facades of buildings, especially in areas facing direct sunlight. Covering these building facades with large amounts of metal or stone not only increases the building's heat load but also, due to the materials' lack of effective energy absorption or conversion capabilities, requires additional air conditioning in summer to cope with the heat from solar radiation. This passive energy-saving method relies on the building's insulation performance and external shading measures, making it difficult to actively regulate heat use and effectively reduce building energy consumption.
[0004] Furthermore, while traditional curtain wall systems can reduce heat transfer to some extent, their energy-saving effect relies on passive regulation, making it difficult to achieve active energy conservation goals. In the current global context of energy conservation and emission reduction, the construction industry's demand for more efficient and greener energy utilization methods is increasingly urgent. Therefore, curtain wall systems relying solely on traditional passive energy-saving technologies cannot fully meet the demands of modern buildings for sustainable and green energy utilization. Against this backdrop, a new curtain wall system is urgently needed that not only addresses the energy-saving shortcomings of existing materials but also actively participates in building energy management.
