Nowadays, the characterization of energy economy-mechanical-fire requirements (regulated by building regulations) and the basic characterization of electrical PV modules (regulated by IEC 61215 and IEC 61730) is carried out separately. In the current standardization framework there are no assessment methods defined to perform the characterization of coupled effects, inherent of BIPV/BIPV-T systems.
In TECNALIA we can offer methods to assess coupled effects designed during MEZeroE project, based on the operation conditions expected for BIPV and BIPV-T systems.
