المستخلص Energy is considered a primary source of life in any society and is indeed one of the most critical issues of development throughout history. Consequently, it plays a fundamental role in achieving economic development for any country. This is why energy sources have been a major cause of many conflicts and wars between nations. With technological advancement, human needs for energy increase, leading to a higher demand for energy sources, especially petroleum derivatives due to their ease of transport and storage. The world is experiencing a clear crisis in traditional energy. In Egypt, for instance, electricity prices rise annually, in addition to the environmental pollution resulting from the consumption of this energy and the increase in carbon dioxide emissions. The continuously growing population increases the demand for housing, prompting the state to build numerous new housing units to accommodate this urban expansion and meet the demand for housing due to the constant increase. This also involves opening new axes and cities across the country during this period to alleviate congestion around the banks of the Nile River. These factors significantly shape cities, leading the world to search for environmentally friendly alternatives to traditional energy. One of the most important alternatives is solar energy, which is abundantly available in Egypt throughout the year. The research problem lies in the potential use of the BIPV system (Building Integrated Photovoltaics), where solar panels are integrated with the building envelope to produce electrical energy, a contemporary reality in many countries worldwide. The research problem specifically focuses on studying the feasibility of using this system in Egypt, where solar radiation is abundantly available, based on the following hypothesis: ”The envelope of new residential buildings in Egypt can become a significant source of sustainable electrical energy production.” The significance of the research lies in the possibility of transforming residential urban areas in Egypt from energy-consuming units to units producing clean energy. It aims to provide a realistic solution for producing electrical energy from the local urban context and to find a low-cost, sustainable, and clean energy source. The research aims to reach a set of construction requirements for constructing new residential buildings in Egypt using the BIPV system to achieve a sustainable building suitable for local conditions. Additionally, the research aims to develop a set of recommendations that can pave the way for the implementation of the BIPV system in Egypt, and to develop preliminary features for formulating a new housing policy that can be applied in fifth generation cities. This research falls within quantitative experimental studies and is based on the following procedures: (1) practical experimentation and (2) simulation processes on several virtual and real models, where the simulation process relies on a set of applications to achieve the desired results. The research consists of 9 chapters. The first chapter discusses the nature of the research problem, the concept of energy, energy consumption, energy crises, climate change, renewable energy sources, the aim of the research, its significance, the methodology followed in the research, and previous studies. The second chapter addresses solar energy, covering the source of solar energy and the classification and uses of solar energy. The third chapter discusses the use of photovoltaic energy in architecture, including the components of the photovoltaic system, the photovoltaic system, the working method of the BIPV system, structural and mechanical considerations, climatic considerations, environmental considerations, architectural considerations, and the actual application of the BIPV system in architecture. These chapters constitute the theoretical background of the study. The remaining chapters discuss practical study. |
