Digital Twin for Building-Integrated Photovoltaics
About
Europe aims to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2050, with the built environment identified as a critical area for decarbonisation. A significant portion of the existing energy infrastructure is projected to require replacement by 2030, presenting a crucial window for the energy transition between 2025 and 2035. Solar power needs to be tripled by 2035 as a key part of expanding renewable energy sources. However, challenges such as high retrofitting costs, skilled labour shortages, and social acceptance of new measures need to be addressed.
Our Digital Twin will support the planning, operation and maintenance of BIPV systems. We apply data-driven approaches in combination with simulation to improve maintenance strategies and reduce operating costs. The research is driven by our expertise in BIPV systems and access to research infrastructure.
