Numerical simulation data of building integrated solar thermal collectors under diverse conditionsNumerical simulation data of building integrated solar thermal collectors under diverse conditions Peer-Reviewed Journal Publication Δημοσίευση σε Περιοδικό με Κριτές 2023-04-062021enThis dataset presents the thermal performance of building-integrated flat solar collectors with a uniform and multiple riser structure. The input data of the numerical model were obtained with the use of the PVGIS tool. Solar radiation and ambient temperature values at slopes 0°, 45°, and 90° were extracted and used as boundary conditions. Numerical calculations were carried using Finite Element (FE) analysis. Three-dimensional transient models were developed to calculate the investigated configurations’ thermal performance based on the environmental temperature, the solar radiation, and the inclination angle. The numerical model was validated with the use of an experimental data set showing a good agreement between the two models with RMSE of 5%. Data of hourly heat flux through the building masonry with the building-integrated solar collector and the average fluid temperature of each system is presented.http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/Data in Brief39Georgiou_et_al_Data Brief_39_2021.pdfChania [Greece]Library of TUC2023-04-06application/pdf868.4 kBfree Georgiou Loucas Souliotis Manolis Papaefthymiou Spyridon Παπαευθυμιου Σπυριδων Fokaides, Paris A., 1977- Elsevier Solar collector Flat plate collector Building-integrated solar thermal collector Transient heat transfer Finite elements
