“…In countries such as the UK, high-rise buildings mainly depend upon glazing technologies for regulating the building temperature and maintaining thermal comfort [16]. The opaque PV modules were integrated on the front face of the facade with some air gap provided to reduce the heat flux penetration in buildings as well as lowering the PV module temperature [17]. The different types of the BIPV system envelopes (Figure 1) are discussed as follows:…”

Building integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) systems have gained a lot of attention in recent years as they support the United Nations’ sustainable development goals of renewable energy generation and construction of resilient infrastructure. To make the BIPV system infra resilient, there is a need to adopt digital technologies such as the internet of things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI), edge computing, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV), and robotics. In this study, the current challenges in the BIPV system, such as the rise in the temperature of the PV modules, the occurrence of various faults, and the accumulation of dust particles over the module surface, have been identified and discussed based on the previous literature. To overcome the challenges, the significance and application of the integration of these digital technologies in the BIPV system are discussed along with the proposed architecture. Finally, the study discusses the vital recommendations for future directions, such as ML and DL for image enhancement and flaws detection in real-time image data; edge computing to implement DL for intelligent BIPV data analytics; fog computing for 6G assisted IoT network in BIPV; edge computing integration in UAV for intelligent automation and detection; augmented reality, virtual reality, and digital twins for virtual BIPV systems with research challenges of real-time implementation in the BIPV.

“…In one of their studies, [18] had used a mock-up model to analyse the effect of the thin film PV module's power output with different tilting angles and azimuths under the Korean climate, while [19] had compared the surface temperature influence of the BIPV window and that of a conventional glass in different angles during the winter and summer seasons. In another study, [20] had examined the usage of the BIPV windows in a ventilation flow design. Recently, most studies have begun focused on the overall energy performance, Peng et al employed the EnergyPlus to investigate the daylighting performance, power and integrated thermal of applying a semi-transparent amorphous silicon PV module on double skin façade under the climate of Hong Kong [21,22], another research used a thin film Cadmium Telluride (CdTe) window system with 10% transparency to develop and evaluate an overall energy model in China [23].…”

Building integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) energy has now become one of the most significant renewable energy alternatives for providing natural daylight and clean energy. As such, this study was conducted for the first time in Algeria to experimentally evaluate the BIPV window energy and lighting energy savings of a typical office building under the semi-arid climate condition. Apart from using the Energy Plus and Integrated Environment Solution-Virtual environment (IES-VE) energy simulation tools in the experimental validation, the daylighting control method and the dynamic Useful Daylight Illuminance (UDI) were also utilized to analyse the daylighting performance as well as the lighting energy of BIPV windows with different transparency levels at various cardinal orientations. The field measurements had revealed the overall energy model to be consistent and in good agreement with the EnergyPlus and the IESVE simulation models, where the tested PV module was found to have provided not only a 20% Visible Light Transmittance (VLT) of uniformed daylight with low illuminance level, but also thermal comfort and a considerable amount of clean energy. The simulated results had demonstrated a substantial improvement in cooling energy and glare reduction of the PV modules as compared to the basemodel, where the only BIPV window configuration was achieved good area of UDI 300-700 lux is facing the South orientation and 30% VLT. In conclusion, the application of the thin film BIPV windows with different transparency and orientation levels can thus be regarded as an effective solution for minimizing the lighting energy consumption through its energy production instead of daylighting utilization.
