Evaluation of Thermal Comfort in a Test Room Equipped with a Photovoltaic Assisted Thermo-Electric Air Duct Cooling System

This study investigates the comfort performance of a test room equipped with the south-facing photovoltaic wall (PV-W) and north-facing thermo-electric air duct (TE-AD) system for the tropical climate. Both subjective and objective measurements were used to analyze the TE-AD system cooling performan...
