High-rise glazing systems are among the most important components affecting energy efficiency. Through lens of Life Cycle Assessment, glass has always been an unlikely material for large buildings due to its considerable consumption throughout pre-use and post-use phases. Moreover, use high-tech materials a negative impact on environment. Therefore, present study aims assess comparative life cy...

The need of clean energy is constantly increasing, and Building Integrated PhotoVoltaic (BIPV) technologies represent valuable assets to expand even further the photovoltaic market. Thanks BIPVs. a new concept local electric microgrid will probably emerge as this kind technology can turn buildings from wells sources. Luminescent Solar Concentrator (LSC) panels are perfect achieve goal, indeed, ...

Over the past years, advanced renewable technologies such as Building Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV) has transformed to become more efficient, reliable, less costly and attractive. A migration Net-Zero Energy Buildings (NZEB) push for Green (GB) is a major driver adoption of BIPVs, not only in developed countries, but also developing world. Fundamental issues cost, aesthetics, technological lo...

The energy footprint of houses can be reduced by replacing the aging stock with higher density and more efficient homes equipped on-site renewable production. In this study, a “double density” simulation scenario is considered where each existing detached house in community replaced two equal living area on same land lot. new were assumed to several efficiency measures (envelope, HVAC, domestic...

The optimal diffusion of Building Integrated PhotoVoltaics (BIPV) in cities requires diligent planning to arrange temporal and spatial distribution energy, while preserving the aesthetics city landscapes. Benefitting from an increasing quality 3D models cities, a comprehensive methodology estimate potential energy generation visually-acceptable PV, use buildings, economically viable micro-grid ...

Crack issues afflicting a building integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) system are major concerns in terms of the system’s maintenance and power degradation. Although there may be many circumstances that bring about cracks BIPV modules during installation process, identifying degradation PV module efficiency resulting from effects tends to very difficult task unless actual indoor or outdoor tests de...

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 sy...

Global energy consumption has led to concerns about potential supply problems, and growing environmental impacts. This paper comprehensively provides a detailed assessment of current studies on the subject building integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) technology in net-zero buildings (NZEBs). The review is validated through various case studies, which highlight significance factors such as surface ar...
