Solar Energy for buildings
What is Building Integration?
Photovoltaic technology has grown rapidly in recent years, and has
developed a range of innovative products in the field of design and
architecture. The modules are used as construction materials in cladding,
roofing, and façades of high-aesthetic value. In light of the fact that this
is the Renewable-Energy system best adapted to electricity generation in
urban areas without producing an adverse environmental impact, this
technology represents a substantial contribution to achieving the goals of
urban sustainability. Building Integration consists of combining
the dual role of the photovoltaic modules as a construction element and as
an electricity generator.
This will be one of the main activities of architects, construction firms,
engineers, and designers in general. The sectors in the building
construction process are currently focusing on this area. |
