What is BIPV.world?
BIPV.world is a platform for inspiration, design, and chain collaboration – a one-stop destination intended for architects, designers, façade builders, and construction professionals. It enables every architect and designer to quickly create custom façade designs with integrated solar panels, all according to the latest BIM standards. The process not only results in beautiful, energy-generating façades, but also provides real-time insight into the costs, revenues, and ROI of sustainable shells as a function of the design choices made. Architects, designers, and façade builders can distinguish themselves with the best solar energy façades and interesting business cases that help convince potential clients… the idea is to match aesthetic finesse with solid, data-driven feedback every step of the way.
Main Benefits & Key Figures
- Quick creation of custom façade designs with integrated solar panels
- Real-time ROI tracking and cost insights during the design phase
- Prefabricated Click&Go BIPV façade for minimal installation error
- Installation times of less than one hour per square meter
- Flexibility to combine solar panels with traditional façade materials
Design and Calculation: Shaping the Future
BIPV.world offers a complete digital toolbox and platform for architects and construction chain parties, making it easier, better, and cheaper to design, calculate, and optimize BIPV solutions. This means that during the design process, every concept drawn is instantly backed up by a business case analysis – providing those involved with an immediate calculation of return on investment (ROI) and tangible cost figures. As a result, the process becomes much more transparent and efficient. The digital platform turns what could be lengthy deliberations into quick, informed decisions… a smooth combination of creative inspiration and technical calculation that fosters innovation in sustainable construction.
Customization & Versatility in Design
The platform empowers architects, designers, and façade builders to create attractive, cost-effective, and profitable custom BIPV solutions – without unnecessary hassle. It is tailored for those who want to stand out in a competitive market with solar energy façades that add distinctive value. The integrated feature that allows for on-the-fly adjustments, including the combination of solar panels with traditional building materials like metal, composite, glass, or stone, offers a level of versatility rarely seen in conventional systems. The result is a harmonious blend of form and function, catering to both aesthetic and practical demands of modern architecture.
Streamlined Efficiency and Ease of Installation
One of the standout features of BIPV.world is the Click&Go BIPV façade – a fully prefabricated system that is delivered as a complete package. This leads to unprecedented short installation times with minimal risk of errors. In actual practice, local installers enjoy a simple, fast, and error-free installation method that cuts down the time to less than one hour per square meter of façade. With each individual solar panel designed for easy removal, the system ensures low maintenance costs over time. This means that even if maintenance or upgrades become necessary, the process is straightforward and cost-efficient.
Performance Driven by Innovative Collaboration
BIPV.world is also a product and service platform specifically tailored for the European supply chain and construction professionals. As an ecosystem, it brings together competing providers of complementary products and services on one user-friendly platform. This collaborative approach not only strengthens the supply chain but also guarantees that best practices and detailed domain knowledge are shared among all stakeholders. The platform’s dynamic environment helps in realizing BIPV in an accessible manner – a vital step towards both renovating existing buildings and creating new, nearly energy-neutral structures as required by new legislation. In today’s fast-paced industry, such innovation is a definite game changer… a true melding of technology and traditional building expertise.
