This paper represents the results of an experimental investigation of the thermal behaviour of Building Integrated Photovoltaic Panels (BIPV), evalauted in three configuration differentiated by the geometry on the rear ventilation chanel a non-ventilated panel (P1), a 10 x 10 mm longitudinal channels (P2) and a 30x10mm chanels (P3). Measurements were carried out between 10 and 18 of March 2026 using infrared thermography measurements and K type thermocouples under a vertical plane solar irradiation between 890 and...

Solar thermal energy is a widely established source for Domestic Hot Water (DHW) production. However, standard DHW systems rely on external electrical energy to power auxiliary components such as circulation pumps and automation controls. This paper aims to demonstrate the feasibility of a self-sustaining system capable of simultaneous thermal energy recovery and electrical generation, thereby enhancing overall energy efficiency and reducing the carbon footprint. Experimental investigations were conducted on a cus...

Heart rate (HR) is a fundamental physiological parameter that reflects cardiovascular health and fitness levels. Accurate HR monitoring is essential for diagnosing medical conditions, guiding physical training, and monitoring stress and recovery. With the increased development of wearable devices, the new direction of research appeared in the field of personalized comfort based on the physiological response and closing the HVAC control loop based on the occupant-s involuntary reaction. This article reviews current...
