Information modelling/management for BIPV cost-reduction
This document addresses the topic of the information modeling and management to support BIPV costreduction, in accordance with the activities of WP6 “Digital and data-driven process for BIPV cost reduction along the value chain, from design to installation”. Therefore, the contents of this report provide the basics for the development of an optimal BIPV process that tries to include and manage efficiently all the BIPV stages and actors, also in relation to the traditional building process, by adopting a BIM-based approach and envisioning the implementation of novel BIM tools with new functionalities.

Monitoring guidelines and specific measurement & validation plan for each demonstration site
This document provides a common set of monitoring guidelines and a specific measurement and validation plan for all BIPV project developments and each demo site. To that end an individual monitoring plan for each demo site and each BIPV technology development is defined base on the International Performance Measurement and Verification Protocol (IPMVP) and the previously performed pre-monitoring activities. The monitoring plan comprises of monitoring objectives, performance checking procedures, testing tasks and required equipment.

Parametrization, optimization and automation during design stage for optimizing cost-to-power ratio
This document describes a first optimization prototype designed to be added to the BIMsolar® [1] software. The goal of this optimizer is to achieve BIPV cost optimization, by performing a multi-objective optimization of both the BIPV end-user cost and the electricity cost over a period of time.

Standardization, performance risks and identification of related gaps for performance in BIPV
From the current regulatory framework, it arises the need to identify a new “multi-disciplinary” approach in order to set reference performance levels and new test methodologies suited to assess the quality of PV in building skin. This report provides an overview on the current normative framework, including the definition of some relevant missing gaps and a roadmap to define new reference procedures for BIPV products qualification, as the basic ground for next developments in the coming years.

Update on BIPV market and stakeholder analysis
This report summarizes BIPV market trends and drivers, as well as the remaining challenges. It also provides an estimation of the "total addressable market" for BIPV in key European countries. A stakeholder analysis is then presented, based among others on the work conducted in PVSITES, consisting in an inventory of involved parties in BIPV project development and their respective roles. This analysis also allows to point out missing gaps and possible points to be optimized, in order to strengthen BIPV market development.

Update on regulatory framework for BIPV
This reports provides an inventory and analysis of regulatory frameworks impacting BIPV systems, both at national and European levels, in order to provide the most significant information for BIPV project developers. The country-level analysis especially focuses the following markets: Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, The Netherlands, Spain and Switzerland. For these, an overview of support schemes, costs and fees, as well as building codes impacting BIPV installations is provided in a comprehensive way. Finally, a brief discussion on potential improvements to be prioritized by policy-makers concludes the document

Collection of building typologies and identification of possibilities with optimal market share
This report collects different archetypal BIPV showcases (e.g. selection of archetypes) representative of the European building stock. Based on an extensive review of architectural and urban BIPV references, the report establishes a census of some best practices of BIPV implementation into real architectural projects. The goal of this analysis is to analyze the main potentials of the building stock to “host” BIPV and the evolving/success opportunities for market attractiveness in the horizon 2020 to 2030. The document identifies the main market possibilities and potentials, in terms of building typologies and building skin application for BIPV, in order to also provide valuable technical inputs for the development of successful BIPV technologies for the next decades.
