Abstract

Designing and incorporating solar-absorptive materials into building envelopes has been conventionally and widely adopted in the passive solar design paradigm. With the emergence of newly discovered spectrally selective materials, studies of and discussions about solar-thermal conversion have gained renewed research interest. This chapter introduces the fundamental processes and mechanisms of solar-thermal conversion in typical building materials and the application of such conversion in building envelopes. Both conventional and emerging application methods and principles are discussed. Potential future directions are then identified regarding the use of photothermal materials in architecture.
