PV integration in disighn of new and refurbishment of existing buildings : education aspect

Abstract EN

Sun is the renewable energy source whose usage exerts influence on architectural design.

Facade concepts of energy efficient buildings are developed producing new facade structures and components.

Photovoltaic systems, as elements of active solar systems are discussed in the paper and particular attention is paid to building integrated systems, as they influence building appearance.

In order to design energy efficient houses with pv integrated systems, students of architecture, as well as architects, have to be informed about pv systems-materials, supporting systems, coatings and design principles.

From the aspect of teaching process, such information is given in the paper and accompanied with example of student work.
