Digital Twin for Building-Integrated Photovoltaics

About

We have developed a Swiss consortium with a housing association in Lugano, Switzerland.

There are plans for deep renovations at a residential complex (1970’s). Our work is focused on renovation planning using digital methods, and we think that this work will be impactful for research on energy efficiency, energy sufficiency and user acceptance.

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.

We are interested in joining a proposal, let me know if you would like to discuss.
