The rationale for the use of these principles is based on their effectiveness in generating energy, possibility for grid integration, and the conscientious preservation of the building's historical beauty . The energy production system in this building is based on the use of solar energy and electricity generation using photovoltaic panels.
In this research, based on building energy simulation techniques, a commercial-office building has been investigated based on green building standards, considering the presence of electric cars and transparent solar cells.
The aforementioned situations, which are distinguished by the strategic positioning of Building-Integrated Photovoltaic (BIPV) solar panels, demonstrate a notable excess in energy generation, therefore making a valuable contribution towards the possibility of selling electricity back to the grid.
Thus, a smart building energy management system is needed. Intelligent building energy management systems monitor and regulate energy demands while preserving a high quality of life. A typical building energy management system optimizes energy usage, lowers expenses, and improves the environment .
In the first scenario, solar cells are located on the roof of the building. In the second scenario of energy production in the building, in addition to the presence of photovoltaic panels on the roof, there are transparent photovoltaic panels on the windows of the building. In the following, each of these types of panels will be explained.
Transparent solar cells in the building's windows have cut electricity use by 18%. As stated in the research objectives, the study examined how emerging technologies and renewable energy sources affect building electricity consumption. Even though the building has solar panels, electric vehicles increase electricity use.
