PLEA 2024: (Re)thinking Resilience
The RINGS-BIPV team participated in the 37th PLEA International Conference, held in Wroclaw, Poland, presenting a research paper entitled “Renovation of Typological Clusters with Building-Integrated Photovoltaic Systems. Analysis of the characteristics of each typological cluster in Spain and proposals for renovation using BIPV systems.” This study presents a classification of the diverse typological clusters identified within the entirety of the Spanish residential building stock. Its objective is to establish standardised interventions for each of these clusters when employing BIPV systems, with consideration given to their distinctive formal characteristics.

Frequently Asked Questions
There are two international and two European standards related to BIPV. The two European standards have been adopted as UNE standards in Spain:
- IEC 63092-1:2020. Photovoltaics in buildings – Part 1: Requirements for building-integrated photovoltaic modules. This document is based on the European Standard EN 50583-1:2016
- IEC 63092-1:2020. Photovoltaics in buildings – Part 2: Requirements for building-integrated photovoltaic systems. This document is based on EN 50583-2:2016
