| Abstract |
This study analyzes the effects of the optical performance of a microalgae facade on the indoor thermal environment. The solar heat gain
coefficient measured through test-bed operation was used as an input variable in the simulation model. Predicted Mean Vote (PMV) derived
from measured indoor air temperature, relative humidity, and mean radiant temperature, was used as a reference indicator to validate the
simulated PMV through comparison. Subsequently, PMV was calculated under different orientation scenarios. The results indicate that the
microalgae facade exhibits a unidirectional effect in blocking excessive solar radiation and reducing PMV. Among the orientations, the
south-facing condition shows a more dispersed reduction pattern compared to the southwest-and southeast-facing conditions. |
