Abstract
1. Forward Nowadays the problem of the global warming is so serious, it causes the people of the world to be greatly alarmed. But the international finance tsunami influences the economic recession and enterprise bankrupt, worldly unemployment agitation, etc. Let we worry that these situations will enforce various governments of several countries for saving their economic predicaments to change original decrement greenhouse gas and energy-conservation plans. To make a reduction of the carbon policy, using the clean energy and saving energy protective our earth environment .All above policies are extremely important works that we will be survived. People do not improve the energy countermeasures urgently as the oil price dropping at the short-term. The solar energy is the clean, pollution-free, and environment-friendly energy. The solar energy is inexhaustible. It has been paid attention by the whole world. The using of the solar energy can be divided into light energy and heat energy. Now people take the biggest with the application proportion of photoelectric energy transfer. When science and technology is developing constantly, enable the photoelectric system of solar energy to be the building materials too (Building Integrated Photovoltaics, BIPV). Then BIPV begin to apply to the international and domestic buildings. BIPV combines the solar energy to generate electricity and the functions of outer cover of the buildings. In the narrow area where the people are thick, the land cost expensive. With combining the generating equipment in the buildings, effective application BIPV is the best way to solve those problems. At present there are manufacturers who produce BIPV in our country, too. They came to our laboratory to do the test of the products. But their BIPV products almost to be sold abroad, they seldom use and build in our country. The only domestic indicator BIPV building is the main stadium of the Kaohsjung world games. The total generation of this project reaches 1MW, it is the most extensive BIPV building in the world at present. This contractor has come to the laboratory of our institute to do the wind pressure resisting test of this product. To make sure its building materials performance accord with the standard of the wind pressure resisting test of this product. While outside the countries making great efforts to develop BIPV buildings, we must think how to let domestic architects understand the design principles of BIPV. And let our BIPV manufacturers who have sold to foreign countries in the past, they also have the chance to apply their products in our country, too. We want to know these answers: is there any project interface question? how to build the BIPV building which can accord with Taiwan and subtropical countries? So the main purpose of this research is to strengthen the relevant building owners and manufacturers to understanding the BIPV .To draft “the architectural design and construction handbook(a rough draft)of the BIPV”. We hope to offer this handbook to the the relevant businessmen for considering and using. 2. Investigation Method and Procedures This research is in order to promote building BIPV building inside of our country. To reinforce the relevant people understanding and participating of the BIPV, let our environment is favorable to BIPV. So this research we interview our country's relevant manufacturers, architects and BIPV experts in order to gather their opinions. We also collect ,analyze and assesse relevant documents for drafting a realizable and practical “the architectural design and construction handbook(a rough draft)of the BIPV.” Its detail method is as follows: (1)To collect relevant BIPV documents and materials. Furthermore we comprehensive interview and examine the opinions of relevant BIPV manufacturers, architects,experts and scholars. After then we review and analyze the relevant key points of BIPV that fit for domestic situation. To arrange and explain a profound in simple lanquage of promotion handbook of “the architectural design and construction handbook(a rough draft)of the BIPV.” (2)To hold the brief report meetings and seek the common understanding and suggestions are offered by relevant scholars and experts. For revising our research plan and the content of the promotion handbook(a rough draft). Searching for the more information effectively to the relevant people to consider and actual using, reaching to promote the purpose of popularizing. 3. Major Findings This research synthesizes the interviews with many BIPV relevant manufacturers, architecter, experts and scholars to study. And hold the meetings to listen to the suggestions of experts and scholars in the appendix, “the architectural design and construction handbook(a rough draft)of the BIPV.” When we make the direction analysis of this promotion handbook(a rough draft), get the following important findings: (1)Firstly we will lead and focus the BIPV relevant constructors and industries to understand it. Perhaps the follow-up study may consider to let the general people to know BIPV much more. (2)This introduction of BIPV(a rough draft) destination is to declare how to design the BIPV which accord with Taiwan and all subtropical countries. We build BIPV buildings not only for architectural aesthetics, our main purpose is to get more energy saving benefits first. (3)The interfaces of BIPV design are architects, support frame manufacturers, PV manufacturers. From the beginning of BIPV design, They have to communicate with each other. (4)We divide the promotion handbook(a rough draft) in the appendix into two parts: the first chapter-“ the basic concept pages of BIPV.” And the second chapter-“the caution notes of the architectural design and construction handbook(a rough draft)of the BIPV.” We will let them have more deeper and preciser understanding to “the architectural design and construction of BIPV.” 4. Suggestions (1)Short-Term Suggestions: To apply the lectures of BIPV building design and construction in the whole country. Use the handbook(a rough draft)of the BIPV design and construction of the building to describe. Let the relevant industries know the importance and apply the building design and construction methods of BIPV as a rule. (2)Medium and Long-Term Suggestions: To Establish the BIPV buildings developing committee. For popularizing to build the BIPV buildings in our country, we have to lead to establish the BIPV buildings developing committee. By The BIPV buildings developing committee we will achieve the goal of expanding participation. To combine the BIPV relevant manufacturers, architects, experts and scholars together. The goal of the BIPV buildings developing committee is as follows: 1. To design and study the BIPV buildings which accord with Taiwan and all subtropical countries. 2. Finding the way of how to use the BIPV to design in the present buildings. 3. To the relevant industry and architects offer the software of solar energy forecast system of the BIPV buildings. 4. Supply documents to architects, support frame manufacturers, PV manufacturers. Let them have deep understanding to BIPV project interface. and know the maintenance procedure of BIPV.
