Abstract In recent years, the development and utilization of new energy have attracted more attention. As a green clean energy, solar much Moreover, photovoltaic (PV) technology has been vigorously promoted, with building-integrated (BIPV) widely used in building sector. However, BIPV, although PV modules can be as envelope materials provide electricity for buildings, due to various conditions ...

Abstract Solar cell coloration with minimum optical loss is increasingly required for building‐integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) in modern urban areas because of its importance harmonizing the exterior zero‐energy buildings and surroundings. A simple strategy developing a distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) designated 1D lamella‐forming polystyrene‐ b ‐poly(2‐vinylpyridine) (PS‐ ‐P2VP) films. An op...

Abstract

Building integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) applications are key to increase the share of renewable energy in built environment. A large potential for BIPV deployment is related building facades. The assessment facades depends on accurate modelling exterior convective heat transfer coefficients (eCHTC). However, eCHTC models commonly used tend be simplified. This paper proposes a simulation framewo...

Abstract Climate change necessitates a critical reconsideration of the built environment since buildings are among top fossil fuel consumers. Solar energy generation through building integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) systems is one most common onsite methods. However, many factors regarding urban morphology can negatively affect BIPV generation. Urban block typologies and spatial patterns commonly...

Building-integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) systems are gaining global popularity as a means to reduce carbon emissions. The optimal implementation of BIPV requires consideration various physical factors. One such factor is the temperature rise module, which can have detrimental effects, decreased power generation and thermal damage. influenced not only by weather conditions, but also finishing cha...

The business model of building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) is developing expeditiously and BIPV will soon be recognised as a building envelope material for the entire skins, among other alternatives such brick, wood, stone, metals, etc. This paper investigates effect climate on solar radiation components skins materials in northern hemisphere. selected cities are Stavanger Norway, Bern Swit...
