Abstract


This paper presents design guidelines for an integrated and energy-based approach for the application of PV systems in the urban environment to mitigate heat stress, reduce energy demand, and shape sustainable, beautiful and inclusive environments. This research was developed within the 4TU.HERITAGE project and as part of a doctoral program. This study adopts the interdisciplinary Innovation Flower Model framework to develop PV design guidelines in the Dutch context. The framework encompasses five interconnected aspects: technical, economic, societal context, human factors, and design and styling. The proposed design guidelines are applicable to both new construction and renovation projects in the urban built environment, support multiple PV integration configurations, and promote stakeholder involvement. An ideal early-design process is proposed, outlining key stages, methods, and actors, alongside a practical multicriteria evaluation workflow that provides input data and relevant numerical tools. The results are validated through an online survey involving stakeholders from the construction sector, architects and experts in BIPV.
