| Abstract |
The goal of this research is to present the applicability and feasibility of BIPV(Building Integrated Photovoltaic) system in residential building type. As one of green and clean alternative energy, lots of study has been done based on the engineering aspect of photovoltaic system, but only recently the mainstream architectural designers have accepted the design aspect of it. To propogate and populate this system to public, it is critical for our architectural designers to present not only energy?conscious design proposals, but also aesthetically and economically acceptable proposals. With current construction method and encouraging building policy, BIPV system can be easily incorporated either as weather screen or daylighting device into existing or new building envelope in a economically feasible manner. |
