BIPV AND SOLAR ARCHITECTURE
COURSE DESCRIPTION
DEWA’s Sustainability and Innovation Centre, in collaboration with SUPSI & IEA PVPS, is organising training on Building Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV) principles and solar architecture. Participants will gain a comprehensive understanding of solar architecture and explore the key technical and economic factors that determine the feasibility of advanced, specialised modules. This will strengthen their interdisciplinary skills through an integrated approach between architecture and solar technology, while promoting interactive learning.
