Tous, Loic (author), Govaert, Jonathan (author), Harrison, Samuel (author), Carrière, Carolyn (author), Barth, Vincent (author), Giglia, Valentin (author), Buchholz, Florian (author), Chen, N. (author), Gordon, I.M.F. (author)The EU crystalline silicon (c-Si) PV manufacturing industry has faced strong foreign competition in the last decade. To strive in this competitive environment and differentiate itself from the competition, the EU c-Si PV manufacturing industry needs to (1) focus on highly performing c-Si PV technologies, (2) include sustainability by design,...journal article 2023

Ortiz Lizcano, J.C. (author), Procel Moya, P.A. (author), Calcabrini, A. (author), Yang, G. (author), Ingenito, Andrea (author), Santbergen, R. (author), Zeman, M. (author), Isabella, O. (author)Building Integrated Photovoltaic systems can produce a significant portion of the energy demand of urban areas. Despite their potential, they remain a niche technology that architects and project engineers still find esthetically limited. The dark blue or black color of standard photovoltaic panels is considered inappropriate for restoration...journal article 2021

Haghighi, Z. (author), Dehnavi, Mahboubeh Angali (author), Konstantinou, T. (author), van den Dobbelsteen, A.A.J.F. (author), Klein, T. (author)Researchers have reported that despite technological development in photovoltaic technology and substantial cost reduction, there is still a narrow interest in architectural photovoltaic applications (APA). Lack of interest is correlated to various bottlenecks, and one of them is a lack of knowledge among architects on the possibilities and...journal article 2021

Özdemir, T. (author)Reduction of energy consumption and to increase its generation is necessary, as the population lives in urban settlements consume three-quarters of global resources, and these numbers are continually growing. Building-integrated photovoltaic panels (BIPV) which would assist for the resolution of the problem can be applied by replacing the façade...master thesis 2020

Ravyts, Simon (author), Moschner, Jens D. (author), Yordanov, Georgi H. (author), Van den Broeck, Giel (author), Dalla Vecchia, Mauricio (author), Manganiello, P. (author), Meuris, Marc (author), Driesen, Johan (author)Façade building-integrated photovoltaics is a technology that transforms a passive façade into a distributed, renewable electrical generator by the inclusion of solar cells in the building envelope. Partial shading due to nearby objects is a typical problem for façade building-integrated photovoltaics as it strongly reduces the output power...journal article 2020

Prabhudesai, Sukanya (author)Global energy demand is on the rise. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), in 2018, the building sector alone constituted 28 % of all energy-related CO2 emissions. In an effort to reduce the carbon footprint of the building sector, the European Union has decreed that every new building from 2021 must be a nearly zero energy...master thesis 2019

Wapperom, Sander (author)There is a 95% certainty that human activity is the dominant cause of observed warming since the mid-20thcentury [1]. Burning fossil fuels for energy is the dominant cause of greenhouse gas emissions. 32% of the Dutch energy supply is consumed by the built environment. The façade is the largest area of the building envelope. Consequently, the...master thesis 2019

Stephan, Mikaël (author)European policy makers have established a set of 20-20-20 targets for the year 2020 in the energy sector, goals based on security of supply, competitive markets and sustainability. The 3 key objectives include a 20% reduction of greenhouse gases (GHG) and CO2 compared to 1990 levels (and up to 80% by 2050), a 20% improvement in energy efficiency...master thesis 2018

Villa, Simona (author)Building Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV) has the potential to play a major role in the ongoing transition towards nearly zero energy buildings. However, the BIPV market is still a niche market, representing only 1% of the global PV share. One of the main barriers that hinder the deployment of BIPV is the lack of aesthetic flexibility. Architects...master thesis 2018

Francis Rozario, Stephen (author)In the process of replacing carbon based fuel with renewable energy, into the energy generation cycle of the world, mobility is considered to be one of the important sectors in which enormous progress can be implemented. Business tycoons are introducing electric vehicles which fascinates people. However, there is yet a stabilized solution to be...master thesis 2018

Faturrochman, G.J. (author), de Jong, M.M. (author), Santbergen, R. (author), Folkerts, W. (author), Zeman, M. (author), Smets, A.H.M. (author)In this work we consider noise barriers with integrated photovoltaic modules. The novelty is that bifacial modules are considered. A full scale bifacial photovoltaic noise barrier was built and its power output was monitored. In addition we developed an advanced numerical model for predicting this power output for given weather conditions....journal article 2018

Kneepkens, S. (author)To date, buildings use 40% of the world’s energy and emit 20% of the world’s CO2. Therefore the EU developed the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive, that requires all new buildings to be nearly zero-energy by the end of 2020. This is only possible when the buildings themselves produce renewable energy. This requires ample use of...master thesis 2017
