The Development of Architectural Design Environment for BIPV using BIM

Abstract

BIPV is a building integrated photovoltaic power generation system, which isused for building finishing materials, roof, and wall, so there is no need forseparate installation space, and the usability is continuously increasing in urbanareas with relatively small installation space. And continues to increase. BIPV isa building-integrated type, but the application plan should be made from theearly stage of design. However, there is a lack of BIPV related designinformation. As a result, the possibility of integrating BIPV and building design isreduced and BIPV is applied in a limited range. Method: BIM-based BIPVdesign process, BIPV installable location, BIPV elevation design factor. And thetheory necessary to implement the support model. Lastly, usability was examinedusing the support model. Result: This study describes a BIM-based designsupport model for BIPV installed elevation design that designers can apply BIPVinstallation location planning and design in a BIM environment.
