Modelling BIPV and calculating Energy Consumption and Thermal Comfort

[djordje]

Hi @pokkisianturi ,
I think about the energy consumption, it was discussed in this topic:

How to integrate PV on a building model to calculate energy use?

I’m working on a project to calculate the energy use intensity (EUI) of a building using BIPV as a window. The problem here is that when I run the energy simulation, the EUI of the building didn’t change whether I use a normal glass window or BIPV. Can someone help me since i am a begineer? Thanks in advance!

You have to somehow use the ACenergyPerHour output of the Photovoltaics surface results and further integrate them with for example EUI component from the upper topic. But I can’t help you with that, I never used the EUI component.
As for the custom shape, just use those surfaces you would like to populate with BIPV panels as _PVsurface input of the Photovoltaics surface component.
Sorry for the late reply.
