Certification Course on Solar Architecture

Event code: 80046


OVERVIEW

Our Singapore Green Plan 2030 is a whole-of-nation sustainable development agenda, where one of the key targets is to achieve net zero emissions through solar energy deployment. Beyond the typical approach of covering roof tops with solar panels, it is timely for us to explore harnessing solar power through architectural-integrated systems; in the form of Building-Added Photovoltaics (BAPV) or Building-Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV).

OBJECTIVES

This course aims to keep professionals abreast on the latest BAPV and BIPV technologies as well as to equip industry practitioners with knowledge to design and adopt these systems for greater solar energy deployment.

At the end of the course, participants will be able to:
• Differentiate the types, functions and designs of BAPV/BIPV technologies;
• Determine optimal placement and suitability of BAPV/BIPV; and
• Evaluate projects for BAPV/BIPV deployment.
