The models are validated by extensive measurements and used for whole-year simulations to estimate the primary energy savings of transparent solar thermal façade collectors.enThermische Anlagen und GebäudetechnikSolarthermieSolarthermische Fassaden621Theoretical and experimental analysis and optimization of semi-transparent solar thermal façade collectorsdoctoral thesis
