Summary

Outdoor test rig for a naturally ventilated building-integrated photovoltaic façade, used to measure heat transfer in the air gap behind the panels. The ventilated cavity produced temperature differences above 10 °C, enough to drive a chimney-type airflow that also cools the modules, and the measurements yielded a new Nusselt number correlation (fit of about 0.96).
