Building Integrated Solar Envelope Systems

Project (Task) Objectives

  • To gather relevant information on market available and “under-development” solar envelope systems both in terms of performance and costs
  • To assess and develop test methods for the performance characterization of solar envelope elements (thermal, electric and daylighting performance characterization)
  • To assess and develop simulation models for the performance characterization of solar envelope elements (thermal, electric and daylighting performance characterization)
  • To develop design, manufacturing and installation guidelines for industrialised solar envelope systems, accounting for technological, architectural/aesthetical, economic, financing and customer acceptance viewpoints
  • To assess and develop business models for solar envelope systems
  • To enhance awareness of the public and private sector on the treated technologies.
