lar radiation in the PV DSF leads to less thermal energy being transferred from the facade to the
cavity It was means that the reduced cavity temperature of the PV DSF lessens the indoor cooling
load in summer, whereas the heating load were increased by reducing solar radiation in winter.
Therefore, in case of building with greater cooling load the PV DSF is more effective than the glass
DSF in load reduction.
