The integration of photovoltaics (PV) into buildings goes beyond
energy saving by providing a clean and elegant way of actually
generating electricity. There are already numerous successful
examples and rapid technological improvements promise expansion of
PV's present niche market to that of a major energy provider of the
21st century. This handbook is the outcome of a five year programme
which took place under the auspices of the International Energy
Agency. Architects and solar experts from 13 countries addressed
the wide range of engineering and architectural issues involved in
the successful integration of PV into buildings. It demonstrates
how to maximise the overall solar contribution to the building;
integrate PV effectively with the building structure; clarify the
relationship of PV with other elements of the building's energy
system; optimise the system economics. It forms a thorough design
guide that covers all aspects if the subject and will enable all
building designers, engineers and property owners to make the
integration of PV into buildings an architecturally appealing and
energetically effective option.
