Powering Design: Integrating BIPV for Sustainable, Safe, and Aesthetic Building Envelopes
This podcast explores the integration of Building-Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV) into modern architectural design as both a functional energy source and a defining aesthetic feature. Participants will learn how BIPV systems can transform façades into renewable-energy generators while maintaining compliance with critical safety standards and design codes. Through discussion of system fundamentals, design applications, lifecycle benefits, and fire-testing standards such as NFPA 285, the course will illustrate how architects and design professionals can advance occupant welfare, building performance, and sustainability goals. By connecting design innovation with measurable environmental and safety outcomes, this session provides a framework for incorporating BIPV into projects pursuing LEED, WELL, or other green-building objectives.
Design professionals who listen to the podcast can earn AIA and GBCI CE credit by logging in to www.greence.com and taking the online quiz.
