Ziezo Tool as Part of the Engineering Doctorate Thesis: Window-integrated Bifacial PV Coupled with Solar Shading: A Multi-Parameter Model and Tool to Evaluate Daylight and Energy Performance

Ziezo tool is an application that captures the daylight and energy performance of Ziezo Window systems. The tool has been developed as part of the Engineering Doctorate thesis: "Window-integrated Bifacial PV Coupled with Solar Shading: A Multi-Parameter Model and Tool to Evaluate Daylight and Energy Performance". The thesis and work have been carried out by Mina Ishac, within the Chair of Building Performance Group in the Building Physics and Services Unit at Eindhoven University of Technology. This tool captures the daylight and energy performance of Ziezo Window systems, adapted to dynamic climatic conditions, window sizes and orientations. It aims to be informative, user-friendly and interactive. The tool, furthermore, captures the momentarily and annual daylight in light of solar radiation profiles of Eindhoven in the Netherlands to better understand the dynamic climatic conditions that affect lighting levels. The tool presents monthly and annual energy consumptions, and provides insights into the optical and thermal properties of Ziezo window. The tool retrieves simulation data, performs basic analysis on the data, and then presents this data to the user. The tool was designed in Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) for Pilkington Nederland B.V. as the target end-user of the tool. An overview of all Ziezo cases in the tool, explanation of detailed functions, inputs, key performance indicators of the outputs, boundary conditions of the model, use cases can be found in the resources below for: 1) Engineering Doctorate thesis, and 2) demonstration video of the tool.<br>Resources:1- Engineering Doctorate open-access thesis (TU Eindhoven, March 2025):[https://research.tue.nl/nl/publications/window-integrated-bifacial-pv-coupled-with-solar-shading-a-multi-]2- Ziezo Tool Demonstration Video: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LPNbGK-TljI]<br>

Ziezo工具是一款用于采集Ziezo窗户系统日光与能源性能的应用程序。本工具作为工程博士学位论文《集成遮阳的双面光伏窗户：评估日光与能源性能的多参数模型与工具》的研究成果开发完成，该论文及相关工作由米娜·伊沙克（Mina Ishac）在埃因霍温理工大学（TU Eindhoven）建筑物理与服务部门的建筑性能教研组完成。
该工具可适配动态气候条件、窗户尺寸与朝向，采集Ziezo窗户系统的日光与能源性能。其设计目标为兼具信息详实性、操作便捷性与交互友好性。此外，本工具结合荷兰埃因霍温的太阳辐射剖面，计算瞬时与年度日光量，以更深入理解影响照明水平的动态气候条件。
该工具可展示月度与年度能源消耗量，并可深入解析Ziezo窗户的光学与热学特性。工具会先获取模拟数据，对其开展基础分析后，将结果呈现给用户。本工具由Visual Basic for Applications（VBA）开发，面向的终端用户为荷兰皮尔金顿公司（Pilkington Nederland B.V.）。
