Heat recovery potential from ventilated passive and active facades

Dolaana Khovalyg, Mohammad Rahiminejad

A ventilated air-space behind external claddings can potentially affect the thermal performance of the entire building structure. In particular, in the Building Integrated Photovoltaic (BIPV) facades, ventilated cavities are typically present between the P ...

TU Delft OPEN2022

, ,

The necessity to reduce carbon emissions has pushed European institutions to foster the adoption - for new buildings - of Nearly Zero Energy Buildings, which need to minimize energy consumption with energy generated on site. This opens up an enormous poten ...

Stability of inks used for masking metallic interconnects in BIPV modules

Christophe Ballif, Alessandro Francesco Aldo Virtuani, Alejandro Borja Block

2021

Grid-Aware Layout of Photovoltaic Panels in Sustainable Building Energy Systems

François Maréchal, Paul Michael Stadler, Francesco Baldi, Luise Middelhauve

In the context of increasing concern for anthropogenic CO2 emissions, the residential building sector still represents a major contributor to energy demand. The integration of renewable energy sources, and particularly of photovoltaic (PV) panels, is becom ...

Architectural Design Strategies for Building-Integrated Photovoltaics in residential building renovation processes

Sergi Aguacil Moreno

Tomorrow's European cities are already largely built, as much of the existing building stock ¿ with a low level of energy performance ¿ will still be standing in 2050. Urban renewal processes therefore play an essential role towards their sustainable trans ...

Active façades : life cycle environmental impacts and savings of photovoltaic power plants integrated into the building envelope

Gianluca Cattaneo, Angela Clua Longas

Aim and approach used Increased energy supply from photovoltaics is a main priority in the “Energy Strategy 2050”. Within the joint research project "Next generation photovoltaics" funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation, we analysed different o ...

Active surfaces selection method for building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) in renovation projects based on self-consumption and self-sufficiency

Sophie Lufkin, Sergi Aguacil Moreno

In light of the Paris Agreement’s objectives and the related European and Swiss goals of decarbonising the built environment, the importance, relevance, and potential benefits of integrating Building-Integrated Photovoltaic (BIPV) within building renovatio ...
