Photovoltaic-Thermal Energy Systems Applied to Commercial Hospitality Buildings

Commercial hospitality buildings consume significant amounts of energy for heating, hotwater, and electricity. Hybrid photovoltaic-thermal (PVT) systems provide an integratedsolution capable of producing both electricity and usable thermal energy from solarradiation. This study evaluates the application of PVT technology in hospitality buildingsand analyzes its potential for improving energy efficiency and sustainability.
