Description

To reduce CO2 emissions by 70 % before 2050, energy efficiency parameters and renewable energy systems will have to be incorporated together to achieve a more sustainable future. One of those synergy methods would be the incorporation of energy efficient building designs and technologies with BIPV systems. In Malaysia, research and applications of BIPV are just emerging and is still in early development. In the final report submitted to the United Nations Development Program, Malaysia aimed to achieve an increase of 330 % in installed BIPV capacity. The research highlights the combination of energy-efficient designs and technologies, along with BIPV systems, to achieve a low-energy building goal. This research presents the integration of energy efficient designs and technologies, with BIPV systems toward low energy building target.
