Designing photovoltaic systems for architectural integration

Christian Roecker, Maria Cristina Munari Probst

This document is addressed to manufacturers of photovoltaic systems. It describes the main criteria for a successful integration of PV systems in buildings and proposes a methodology for the design of systems specifically conceived for building integration ...

Farkas, Klaudia pour International Energy Agency Solar Heating and Cooling Programme2013

The communication process

Christian Roecker, Maria Cristina Munari Probst

In order to stimulate an increased use of solar in energy conscious building design, the Task 41 participants have developed a Communication Guideline as a tool to support architects in their communication process with especially clients, authorities and c ...

Hagen, Rolf and Bruun Jorgensen, Olav for International Energy Agency Solar Heating and Cooling Programme2012

Building envelope and solar energy optimization: a new “wizard” for architects

Christian Roecker, Maria Cristina Munari Probst, Marja Edelman

When designing a project, architects are facing more and more constraints on the building’s energy efficiency. Tougher values on insulation and energy consumption are now often combined with compulsory implementation of active solar systems - photovoltaics ...

Urban acceptability of building integrated solar systems: LESO-QSV approach

Christian Roecker, Maria Cristina Munari Probst

The concern for sustainable development issues together with the new EU promotion policies are finally leading to a widespread use of Photovoltaic and Solar Thermal systems in buildings. This upcoming reality is opening a new debate on the urban/architectu ...

Architectural Integration and Design of Solar Thermal Systems

Christian Roecker, Maria Cristina Munari Probst

Although solar thermal systems are technologically mature and cost effective, they have not yet been sufficiently used in building design, where they should be playing a greater role in the reduction of fossil-fuel consumption. One main hindrance to adopti ...

Building Integrability of Solar Thermal Systems - Present & Future

Christian Roecker, Maria Cristina Munari Probst

Solar thermal systems are becoming a mandatory part of the future “energy in buildings” landscape, as demonstrated by the numerous national promotion programs and new compulsory solar fractions regulations. Considering their size at the building envelope s ...

Development of solar ventilated façade system for building energy retrofit

Christian Roecker, Maria Cristina Munari Probst, Alessia Giovanardi

In the perspective of setting ambitious targets for new buildings energy performance and of introducing new approaches to retrofit existing buildings, the implementation of solar thermal collectors into façade becomes very interesting Several research acti ...

Architectural integration of solar thermal systems

Christian Roecker, Maria Cristina Munari Probst

The amount of solar energy reaching the Earth in one hour equals the total amount of primary energy used in the world during one year. Thanks to the different solar technologies presently available, most energy needs of buildings can today be covered by so ...
