2. The context
1. Energy Union and SET Plan: Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy are core issues
2. European regulations for Nearly Zero Energy Buildings (NZEB) and future Plus Energy Buildings (PEB)
3. BIPV is an important element in combination with energy efficiency in buildings
4. BIPV offers great opportunities for design and innovation
5. Interdisciplinary approach: Explore the needs and visions of architects, building industry, developers and designers in collaboration with the PV and BIPV industry how can BIPV products and services meet the architects’ and building industry’s expectations?
From BAPV to BIPV: The building element has an additional function: Energy generation
The typical cost of a BIPV glass facade is 220 €/m2 while
a non PV double glazing facade may cost 180 €/m2.
40 €/m2 difference is greatly exceeded by the income of
175 €/m2 for energy generation over 20 years
