This study fouces on the electricity generation of B1PV system in the super-tall buildings. To improve the efficiency of the B1PV system, solar irradiance and air temperature should be taken into consideration. This study does research on, one of two main parameters, the solar irracliance in the super high-rise buildings. According to the measurement of solar irracliance, it increased with altitude. It is, particularly, more obviously in the super-tall buildings than others. Subsequently, to make an accurate B1PV elecrticity generation prediction,it is necessary to anaiyze the solar irracliance distribution on the super-taII building's facade which is a prerequisite for optimal B1PV system design.
The paper mainly discusses on the method how to save energy so as to follow the "Low Carbon and Green Growth" by the govemment and the Building Energy Efficiency Rating System. For the purpose of interior comfort as well as effective operation and management of buildings, this paper does basic research on development of elementary technology for saving the energy used in building. In this paper, the interior lighting control zone is selected to make a lighting control algorithm which takes the reduction of building energy into consideration for saving building energy when the building envelopes are replaced by the BIPV system.
This study was carried out to evaluate the Life Cycle Cost(LCC) of four types of BIPV(Building Integrated Photovoltaic) systems -Glass plus Granite, Crystalline BIPV, Crystalline BIPV + Glass plus Granite and See through Amorphous BIPV -which were vertically installed to generate the same capacity(2kW) and the same area. Initial investment costs, cost savings and maintenance costs had been predicted during the period of analysing the LCC of four types of BIPV(Building Integrated Photovoltaic) systems installed for the purpose of evaluating the LCC. In case of cost savings, it had been analyzed by measuring the amount of electric power generated, reduction in lighting load and heat & cooling loads through simulation. From this analysis, it was predicted that the See-through amorphous BIPV offering cost saving advantages demonstrated the economical efficiency similar to the Glass plus Granite when it is backed by more than 20 years of durability.
