Abstract

This study presents a simulation-based analysis of a steel modular building that integrates technologies that support the energy transition in the built environment. The focus is placed on the implementation of building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPVs), with photovoltaic modules incorporated into the façade and balcony railings. Several modern photovoltaic façade systems were examined. In addition, the study considers the application of photovoltaic glazing enhanced with active quantum coatings. Seven distinct BIPV modules were analysed, each characterised by unique features, with particular emphasis on the influence of colour in tinted variants. A performance degradation analysis was conducted for railing-mounted modules with varying glass tints. The simulation results were correlated with the building’s electricity demand.
