Scientific contribution on the BIPV #1

The scientific article “Digitalising BIPV Energy Simulation: A Cross Tool Investigation” presents an in-depth examination of various simulation tools used in the digitalization of energy performance in Building Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV).

The study investigates eight different simulation tools to understand their effectiveness in simulating BIPV energy performance, identifying key challenges and opportunities for improvement in BIPV digital simulation. Through case studies and comparisons of different simulation outputs, the article offers insights into the capabilities and limitations of current tools, with implications for future research and practice in the field.
