10th of November 2025, 1.00 p.m.
Vortragssaal der TU-Bibliothek, Resselgasse 4 / Wiedner Hauptstraße, 1040 Wien
The symposium will present results from the FFG research project BIM4BIPV to the PV and construction industries, planners, and architects:
Design and planning are interdisciplinary processes that require efficient data exchange via interfaces. For correct data transfer in design, visualization, daylight and PV simulation, electrical and energy system planning, cost-benefit analysis, life cycle assessment, and component and solar module production, BIPV elements must be represented as IFC objects in a uniform, open data format (OpenBIM). The BIM4BIPV project aims to lay the foundation for the implementation of a consistent BIM planning flow for building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) in the interdisciplinary planning process. The aim of the workshop is to open up ideas and strategies for discussion at an early stage of the project, while also providing an outlook on future challenges for the photovoltaic and construction industries.
