The high cost of building integrated photovoltaics is one the main reasons preventing a more widespread application. We propose panel-on-demand concept for flexible design thin-film to address this issue. based on use semi-finished PV modules (standard mass products) with subsequent refinement into BIPV modules. In study, we demonstrate three processes necessary realize concept. First, prototyp...

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 ...

One of the major causes of delays in construction sites belongs to the delays in delivering materials. This paper introduces the integrated Building Information Modelling (BIM) model combined with a supply chain and a controlling system, along with its efficiency for alleviating the negative effects of delays caused by a lack of materials on construction sites. So, firstly the concept of feed-f...

Analogy between the Microelectronics and Building industries is explored with the focus on design, commissioning and operation processes. Some issues found in the realisation of low energy buildings are highlighted and techniques gleaned from microelectronics proposed as possible solutions. Opportunities identified include: adoption of a more integrated process, use of standard cells, inclusion...
