Ventilated Active Thermoelectric Envelope (VATE): Analysis of its energy performance when integrated in a building

摘要

Nowadays, there have appeared a lot of innovative strategies that one way or another try to improve the overall energy performance of buildings. There is no doubt that all of these new strategies are really great for that purpose, but, in some occasions, some of the results achieved when they are installed in a building are not as expected. The vast majority of the times this is because of problems with the integration of the new strategies instead of a problem with the technology itself.
