Grant: Collaborative Science, Technology and Innovation Program - Collaborative R&D Initiatives
Concordia University
$50,000.00
Assessment of productivity, carbon emission reduction potential and performance of building-integrated photovoltaic/thermal systems (BIPV and BIPV/T)
FY 2025-26 · 2025-06-24
Summary
This project will examine the key performance factors of building-integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) products and review the state of the art in relevant technical standards and testing requirements. This is a sub-project of a larger two-phase initiative entitled “Multifunctional, Prefabricated, Energy-Positive and Climate-Resilient Building Envelope Systems,” led by researchers at Concordia University and supported by the Canada First Research Excellence Fund. The overall objective is to develop innovative, multifunctional, prefabricated, energy-positive building envelope systems. These systems will integrate improved thermal performance, daylight control, and on-site electricity and heat generation. One of the main goals is to create standardized, cost-effective solutions for integrating BIPV systems into buildings.

Description (French)
Ce Projet examinera les facteurs clés de performance des produits de systèmes de production d'électricité photovoltaïque intégrés aux bâtiments (BIPV) et fera le point sur l'état de l'art en matière de normes techniques et d'exigences d'essai pertinentes. Il s'agit d'un sous-projet d'une initiative plus large en deux phases intitulée « Systèmes d'enveloppe de bâtiment multifonctionnels, préfabriqués, à énergie positive et résilients au climat », dirigée par des chercheurs de l'Université Concordia et soutenue par le
Fonds d’excellence en recherche Apogée Canada. L'objectif global est de développer des systèmes d'enveloppe de bâtiment innovants, multifonctionnels, préfabriqués et à énergie positive. Ces systèmes intégreront des performances thermiques améliorées, le contrôle de la lumière du jour et la production d'électricité et de chaleur sur site. L'un des principaux objectifs est de créer des solutions normalisées et rentables pour l'intégration de systèmes de BIPV dans les bâtiments.
Expected Results
In the short term, anticipated outcomes will be strengthened collaborations across industry, academia, and government to support research excellence. In the medium term, anticipated outcomes will be the development of new and potentially disruptive technologies with collaborators. In the long term, find collaborative solutions to public policy challenges and create stronger innovation systems.
Expected Results (French)
À court terme, les résultats prévus seront des collaborations renforcées entre l'industrie, le milieu universitaire et le gouvernement pour soutenir l'excellence en recherche. À moyen terme, les résultats attendus seront le développement de nouvelles technologies potentiellement perturbatrices avec des collaborateurs. À long terme, trouver des solutions collaboratives aux défis des politiques publiques et créer des systèmes d'innovation plus solides.
