Innermost Surface Temperature Characteristics of Solar Photovoltaic Double Pane WindowBy Sankar Barman, Hirak Ranjan Das
Abstract: A window has a great role in the thermal comfort and HVAC load of a building. The role of a window in the HVAC load further increases in a location where both the summer and winter conditions are severe. In the above context, the innermost surface of a double pane window system is the most important. The present paper presents an analysis of the temperature characteristics of the innermost surface …

Temperature Characteristics of Semi-Transparent Photovoltaic Module in a ventilated double pane window systemBy Sankar Barman, Hirak Ranjan Das, Kalyan Kumar Das
Abstract: This work presents the analysis of surface temperature characteristics of Semi-Transparent Solar Photovoltaic (STSPV) module integrated double pane window systems. The four systems are investigated with three types of air ventilation arrangements and a non-ventilation provision. The whole building simulation software EnrgyPlus and WINDOW 7.3 have been used to generate and analyze the required data. The focal points of the analysis include reduction in SPV module temperature and maintenance of …

Optimization of Roof angle for Sloping Roof Buildings under Extreme Wind ConditionsBy Hirak Ranjan Das, Kalyan Kumar Das
Abstract: A downburst that occurs during a thunderstorm is a strong downward current of wind which comes down with high speed from the cloud level and hits the ground. After hitting the ground it spreads radially outward in all directions. These are generally destructive in nature. There are evidences of downburst causing extensive damages to buildings, electrical installations etc. In India thunderstorms often occur during pre-monsoon and post-monsoon seasons particularly in …
