The Development of Architectural Design Environment for BIPV using BIM

Abstract

BIPV is a building integrated photovoltaic power generation system, which is used for building finishing materials, roof, and wall, so there is no need for separate installation space, and the usability is continuously increasing in urban areas with relatively small installation space. And continues to increase. BIPV is a building-integrated type, but the application plan should be made from the early stage of design. However, there is a lack of BIPV related design information. As a result, the possibility of integrating BIPV and building design is reduced and BIPV is applied in a limited range. Method: BIM-based BIPV design process, BIPV installable location, BIPV elevation design factor. And the theory necessary to implement the support model. Lastly, usability was examined using the support model. Result: This study describes a BIM-based design support model for BIPV installed elevation design that designers can apply BIPV installation location planning and design in a BIM environment.
