4.1. Case-study building A building project located in New York City (USA) is chosen as case-study. The external envelope is, by design, a peculiar translucent envelope (Fig. 3) that allows those who look from the outside to glimpse moving shadows from within and guarantees the diffusion of natural light inside the building.. Moreover,

The use of solar energy, an important green energy source, is extremely attractive for future energy storage. Recently, photo-assisted energy storage devices have rapidly developed as they efficiently convert and store solar energy, while their configurations are simple and their external energy decline is much reduced.
