Advances in building-integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) systems for residential and commercial purposes are set to minimize overall energy requirements and associated greenhouse gas emissions. The BIPV design considerations entail energy infrastructure, pertinent renewable energy sources, and energy efficiency provisions. In this work, the performance of roof/façade-based BIPV systems and the affecting parameters on cooling/heating loads of buildings are reviewed. Moreover, this work provides an overview of different categories of BIPV, presenting the recent developments and sufficient references, and supporting more successful implementations of BIPV for various globe zones. A number of available technologies decide the best selections, and make easy configuration of the BIPV, avoiding any difficulties, and allowing flexibility of design in order to adapt to local environmental conditions, and are adequate to important considerations, such as building codes, building structures and loads, architectural components, replacement and maintenance, energy resources, and all associated expenditure. The passive and active effects of both air-based and water-based BIPV systems have great effects on the cooling and heating loads and thermal comfort and, hence, on the electricity consumption.

“…It will thus allow for demand side management/load control and thereby demand response based on the requirements of the surrounding energy networks". Compared to a single building, the flexibility and use of new technologies can in principle be increased by focusing at the district level [57,58] since this might ensure a larger accommodation of RES supply systems and easily flatten the load profiles due to the presence of different occupancy patterns and a potential variety of RES sources and heat sinks (e.g., soil, water bodies, night sky and night ventilation in summer). Besides, a larger scale might offer economies of scale in the case of retrofit actions aggregating groups of buildings and options for energy production and storage, which may not be economically or practically suitable in the case of a single building.…”

Energy efficiency, generation from renewable sources and more recently energy flexibility are key elements of present sustainability policies. However, we are beginning to see a recognition of the need to couple technological solutions with lifestyle and behavioral changes, sometimes labeled under the term “sufficiency”. Appropriate policies and design principles are necessary to enable sufficiency options, which in turn reveal that there is a bidirectional influence between the building and the district/city level. In this context, the authors discuss how city and building re-design should be implemented combining energy efficiency, flexibility, production from renewables and sufficiency options for achieving a positive energy balance at the district level even within the constraints of dense cities. Based on a review of recent advances, the paper provides a matrix of interactions between building and district design for use by building designers and city planners. It also compares possible scenarios implementing different strategies at the building and urban level in a case study, in order to evaluate the effect of the proposed integrated approach on the energy balance at yearly and seasonal time scales and on land take.

“…Shnapp et al [5] state that, from an energy perspective, moving beyond NZEBs to PEBs and PEDs provides opportunities to achieve better cost-effectiveness of energy efficiency and renewable energy systems. Hedman et al [13] argue that in PEDs the renewable energy supply and demand can be unevenly distributed throughout the district, which allows a more strategical installation of renewable energy systems and energy storage. According to Hedman et al the aim of a PED is not only to generate surplus energy, but rather to minimize the impact on the centralized grid by promoting higher self-consumption and selfsufficiency.…”

“…According to Hedman et al the aim of a PED is not only to generate surplus energy, but rather to minimize the impact on the centralized grid by promoting higher self-consumption and selfsufficiency. The PED thereby should offer options to increase the onsite load matching by allowing the integration of long-and short-term storage and smart controls for improving energy flexibility [13]. Also the JPI Europe White Paper on a "PED Reference Framework" mentions the important role of PEDs as a provider of energy flexibility.…”

The aim of this paper is to assess opportunities the Clean Energy Package provides for Plus Energy Buildings (PEBs) and Plus Energy Districts (PEDs) regarding their economic optimization and market integration, possibly leading to new use cases and revenue streams. At the same time, insights into regulatory limitations at the national level in transposing the set of EU Clean Energy Package provisions are shown. The paper illustrates that the concepts of PEBs and PEDs are in principle compatible with the EU energy community concepts, as they relate to technical characteristics while energy communities provide a legal and regulatory framework for the organization and governance of a community, at the same time providing new regulatory space for specific activities and market integration. To realize new use cases, innovative ICT approaches are needed for a range of actors actively involved in creating and operating energy communities as presented in the paper. The paper discusses a range of different options to realize PEBs and PEDs as energy communities based on the H2020 EXCESS project. It concludes, however, that currently the transposition of the Clean Energy Package by the EU Member States is incomplete and limiting and as a consequence, in the short term, the full potential of PEBs and PEDs cannot be exploited.
