Workshop 2
16/17.11.2009 Lugano
“Interactive tools and assistance for the architectural integration of solar installations”
Program Location Presentations Report

This workshop is particularly addressed to professionals from the solar field (photovoltaic and solar thermal collector) and buildings (architects, engineers, construction managers). The different actors involved in a project for building integrated solar installation, often require support to promote, design and realize these systems in an optimal way.
These supports come in a form of software to support the process of dimensioning, visualization (photomontage or CAD element) and financial estimation of an installation, or include other sources such as websites, advices regarding the integration, books, reference objects and help in the formulation of the construction demand.
Based on presentations, discussion in multidisciplinary groups will aim at identifying the main problems and contribute to their solution through the creation of new projects and collaborations.
