CONTEMPORARY TENDENCIES OF DESIGNING BUILDING PHOTOVOLTAICS WITH INTEGRATION TO THE ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN
ABSTRACT
Solar energy was recognized as one of the most important renewable energy technologies in many countries in the recent years. The renewable technologies achieved an important awareness among architectural engineers, who see the concept of integration of photovoltaic system as a new opportunity for integration in the architectural design. Analysis of urban disposition of the solar radiation in the cities is becoming an important factor in conceptualizing the intersecting systems as a basis for architectural study in the organization and orientation of buildings for optimizing the solar potential. In the beginning of the development of the photovoltaic systems, as a solar power generating renewable technologies, they were analyzed only by electrical energy engineers, which created only standard products with limited design possibilities in terms of patterns, dimensions, texture and colors, so integrated approach with architectural engineers is important sustainable factor for the optimization and sustainability of the architectural design. The recent development of the solar renewable technologies and the PV systems, created a new possibilities for them to be reviewed as architectural elements in the architectural design process by many important international architectural studios. Architects must think of new concepts of integration of the photovotaic systems as architectural elements by creating pixeled photovoltaic module, patterns in monocrystaline cells, as well as using different visible materials, patters, textures and color in the thin film modules of the photovoltaic cells in the composition of the architectural design. This scientific paper will explore the architectural possibilities in the architectural design of building integrated photovoltaics in terms of the functional, constructive and aesthetics formal aspects of using building-integrated photovoltaics in architectural design. Building integrated photovoltaics modules should respond to the technical aspects of the energy production, as well as, be integrated as architectural elements according to the function and the building envelope: adaptive fasade, double fasade, PV shading cladding systems in the architectural buildings
