Optimation of Bipv Efficiency By Folding Architecture and Users Behaviour In Office Building At Surabaya

Abstract

The work of BIPV system usually measured by its efficiency. In order to make higher efficiency, effort should be taken to rise electricity output and to reduce electricity demand. Electricity output generized by BIPV depends on the amount of solar radiation received by PV panel. There are some factors affect the amount of radiation received. One of them is the tilt angle and the orientation angle of PV panel. This research try to rise electricity output by collaborating this factor with orientation principle in folding concept. The collaboration results in bigger surface areq to receive radiation. Experiment with simulation as it tools will be used as research method to get the optimal configuration of Folding-BIPV. Meanwhile, the reducement of electricity demand will be described in relation with users behaviour, both individual behaviour and communal behaviour. As the object taken in this research is an office building, communal behaviour will take more impact to reduce energy demand. Policies and strategies related to energy efficiency made by central operational management in office building will controI communal behoviour
