5. A BIPV Challenge
DESIGN
No Photovoltaic/Technology appearance
Homogeneous rendering – dark zinc – Paris roofs
Triangular shaped roofs
1,500 different module shapes to match the roof geometry
PV modules acting as building materials (élements constructifs actifs)
Substitution of steel gratings (caillebotis)

7. A BIPV Challenge
TECHNICAL
Custom-made cells colour – special development
No visible ribbons or wires
Fire Class 0 (BS1d0) – no combustibility – for very risky areas
Anti glaring – Candela < 10 000 – for safe airship landing
12 mm laminated safety glass for accidental shock resistance – glass/glass
No visible mounting system
PV glasses raised on steel framework and fixed on secondary aluminium structur
8. A BIPV Challenge
PV Technology
Mono crystalline PV technology
187 000 PV 6’ cells – 4,46 Wp
Custom-made cells colour – special development
No visible ribbons or wires
Glass glass
187 000 PV cells – 4,46 Wp
9. Case study conclusions
It is possible to give an architectural relevance to the technology
Standard solar modules are just a transition
Traditional IEC 61215/61730 norms become irrelevant : general construction norms
apply
Security norms
Safety glass norms
Mechanical resistance norms
Fire resistance norms
PV is an architectural component
PV is an active building material
PV plays a double function
PV is rational
PV substitutes traditional materials
BIPV Cost = Cost of construction material + cost of PV
The cost reduction of the technology opens new doors/new opporutinity to tackle the
entire building envelope
