"Building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) have recently gone far beyond solar panels to an array of new building envelope solutions in products, materials, and colors for virtually any building surface. They offer new architectural design opportunities while turning buildings into energy producers. This guidebook presents best-practices and decision-making processes for efficient, resilient architecture. Featuring over 50 annotated reference drawings-roofs, solar shading, rainscreens, curtain walls, double skin facades-and 30 international BIPV case studies, it provides building professionals the technical knowledge and inspiration to implement BIPV technologies in the built environment"--
