Evaluating BIPV Façades in a Building Envelope in Hot Districts for Enhancing Sustainable Ranking: A Saudi Arabian Perspective

Enhancing contractual construction project documents with sustainability and green building requirements reflects growing concerns for the majority of organizations in hot zone districts. The aim is to provide a healthy, best functional performance, safe environment occupant comfort, an efficient performance as environmental-friendly building. This research study develops holistic evaluation system façade composite documents. current was enhance energy under rating focusing on adapting active envelope applications. used technical simulation based PVsyst V7.1.0 software status ongoing unique case Saudi Arabia. Feasibility analysis carried out sustainable using adopted specifications Building Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV) item instead passive Giftedness Creativity Center project. registered called Leadership Energy Environmental Design (LEED). results showed that BIPV facades renewable source enhances over life cycle. Additionally, it generates 68% demand nearly-zero Several other advantages include lower cost than tender without any conflicts, savings per year, upgrade platinum certificate, added value public investment, CO2 emission reduction, barrels oil saved.
