The building integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) system is one of the contributors which has enormous potential to reach goal net-zero energy buildings (NZEB) that significantly reduce use fossil fuels contribute global warming. However, limitations visual and aesthetic appearance current BIPV systems make this aspiration unlikely. This study investigates single-color-based PV modules are dull in ha...

Decarbonizing the building sector is extremely important to mitigating climate change as contributes 40% of overall energy consumption and 36% total greenhouse gas emissions in world. Net-zero buildings are one promising decarbonization attempts due their potential decreasing use increasing share renewable energy. To achieve a net-zero building, it necessary decrease demand by applying efficien...

BIPV has gained a lot of attention in the solar world especially recent times as push for Net Zero Energy Buildings (NZEB) and concerns about landscape aesthetics increases. Aesthetics plays critical role adoption BIPVs it is one fundamental components architects home owners look out for. This paper discusses primacy by using elements principles design guide applications. Essential such colour,...

Within the framework of sustainable development and carbon-neutrality, building sector is a key target national energy strategy towards zero-carbon economy in Morocco. This article comes response to this need by assessing performance solar-powered low-embodied-carbon semi-arid climate Benguerir-Morocco, which refers fifth climatic zone thermal regulation for constructions Morocco (RTCM). To do ...

An increasing demand for energy-efficient buildings has led to an increasing focus on predicted energy performance once a building is in use. Many studies have identified a performance gap between predicted energy use and actual measured energy use once buildings are in the user phase. However, none of the identified studies normalise measured energy use for both internal and external deviating...

The need for more efficient buildings to contribute sustainable development has led the establishment of targets in different countries. European countries have presented energy plans respond guidelines achieving near-zero (nZEB). concept can be defined at urban scale (nZED), being a delimited part city with high efficiency and using renewable energies within its boundaries. This research aims ...
