The purpose of this study is to analyze the cooling, heating, lighting energy consumption, and solar cell generation performance of buildings with DSSC BIPV windows by applying various lighting control methods. Using computer simulations, three types of windows were compared: Low-E, DSSC-R and DSSC-Y. As a result, the DSSC windows showed a higher energy consumption than the Low-e window due to its low VLT value despite its own power production, and all three window types showed the lowest energy consumption in the Linear/Off control method. Based on this study, continuous research on improving VLT and Solar Cell’s self-generation efficiency should be conducted in order to increase the utilization of DSSC BIPV windows.
