Building Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV) deals with additional technical, visual and life cycle aspects related to buildings beyond traditional electrical energy aspects. New technologies and large-scale production has made PV and its electricity affordable and efficient. The next frontier is its widespread adoption into the built environment, where standards require performance in ecological, economic and social aspects. Hence BIPV develops into an interdisciplinary combination of electrical energy, building construction, and architectural design. This Special Issue calls for innovative contributions from academia and practice, overcoming challenges and demonstrating opportunities which would help the widespread adoption of BIPV worldwide.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"template":"","format":"standard","topic":[424,433,691,703,435,718,717,586,568,88,294,74,554,449,542,705,300,696,615,469,616,629,483,491,706,638,639,240],"country":[55],"nsj_language":[57],"class_list":["post-1577","call_for_papers","type-call_for_papers","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","topic-architectural-design","topic-buildings","topic-built-environment","topic-case-studies","topic-circular-economy","topic-clean-energy","topic-construction-4-0","topic-construction-systems-engineering","topic-construction-technology","topic-development-economics","topic-ecology","topic-economics","topic-electrical-engineering","topic-energy-efficiency","topic-energy-production","topic-green-economy","topic-innovation","topic-innovative-applications","topic-innovative-technologies","topic-interdisciplinarity-approach","topic-performance-evaluation","topic-photovoltaic","topic-product-innovation","topic-renewable-energy","topic-social-impact","topic-social-sustainability","topic-solar-energy","topic-sustainable-energy","country-switzerland","nsj_language-english"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
