Abstract: In the frame of zero-energy buildings, the integration of renewable energy sources along with energy saving strategies must be the target. PV glazing is an innovative technology which apart from electricity production can reduce energy consumption in terms of cooling, heating and artificial lighting. Thus, it mitigates the pollution and reduces associated costs. In this context, the latest achievements of semi-transparent PV windows and their impact on buildings energy performance and occupants comfort are reviewed.
