This paper is about preliminary study of a thermal distribution, airflow, and thermal resistance of semi-transparent photovoltaic (PV) double skin façade (DSF) in mini buildings, which are designed that air can flow in the gaps between the two glazing. The surface of semi-transparent photovoltaic material, which is made of semi-transparent material, is used to release sunlight into the building as natural lighting. Together, it also functions to reduce solar heat gain in buildings. Instead of using just one skin façade, the use of PV double skin façade has advantages, including reducing heat transfer by conduction from the outer skin to the inner skin by applying a cavity containing an insulator such as air. The cavity application also functions as a heat gain from the two skins by accommodating the convection transfer of air flowing between the two skins. The air flowing in the cavity can be circulated naturally which is driven by buoyancy forces. © 2023 Author(s).
