Abstract The increasing demand for nearly-Zero Energy Buildings contributes to a broader discussion of implementing building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) on building envelopes. Existing research indicates that BIPV products should be digitally represented in Building Information Modeling (BIM) facilitate the design process. Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) schema as data exchange standard n...

Based on the available literature, status and prospects for further development of building integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) market were analyzed. The results analysis show that high investment costs lack information about installed BIPV systems technology are a problem stakeholders. is an interdisciplinary problem, so cooperation large number different experts important. However, it not yet at ...

In this communication, an attempt has been made for evaluating the performance of an existing BIPV system for Indian climatic conditions, considering four weather conditions (a, b, c and d type) for five different cities (New Delhi, Bangalore, Mumbai, Srinagar, and Jodhpur) of India. In this paper, first solar radiation is calculated on inclined roof (30), south, east and west facades (90) of t...

Building integrated photovoltaic/thermal (BIPV/T) systems serve two purposes – generate electricity and heat ambient air using absorbed solar energy. High wind velocity reduces the efficiency of unglazed transpired solar collectors (UTC). Indeed, wind flow on the collector’s surface reduces the useful heat transferred to the plenum air by effectuating convection losses and suction in the pores;...

In this study, four kinds of structures—[6,6]-phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM), PCBM/fullerene (C60), C60/bathocuproine (BCP), and PCBM/C60/BCP—were used as electron transport layers, and the structure, and optical and electronic behaviors of MAPbBr3 perovskite layers after annealing treatments were observed. The experimental results indicate that PCBM/C60 bi-layer structure is accep...

Building integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) systems provide an opportunity for renewable energy generation in the built environment. In order to quantify BIPV potential, numerical models of varying levels complexity have been developed. This paper investigates how affects their predictions. The study starts with a detailed multi-physics model that combines high-resolution one-diode physics-based th...
