Abstract
The influence of different façade integrated photovoltaic solutions on the building energy consumption is not easy to assess under real operating conditions. Thermal aspects, inside temperatures or luminance level that can be expected using building integrated PV (BIPV) modules are not well-known. The BIPV Env-lab ?BIPV Controlled Environment Test Laboratory? project aims to analyze the whole set of issues that influence the global energy consumption in a building that use BIPV modules. Issues to be analyzed are comfort aspect (thermal and lighting aspects), energy consumption, electricity production, electrical behavior of PV modules and PV systems for vertical integration. Integrated photovoltaic components and the use of renewable energy is already a standard for reducing power consumption, but would also be important to know the possible contribution on the comfort and health of building occupants. This work presents the specific design of the test facility and the methodology employed for BIPV testing in a real context and weather conditions.
