Non-technical
barriers
The
third major area of work was on Non-technical barriers and
was targeted mainly at decision makers and government agencies.
A
series of 4 studies were undertaken investigating:
- Barriers
to the uptake of BIPV.
- Potential
of BIPV gives a methodology for assessing the potential
resource from BIPV systems in terms of possible energy outputs
from a regions or country.
- Economics
of BIPV looks at the economic costs and benefits that can
be obtained from BIPV
- The
Market Strategies report looks at various approaches that
have been made around the world to encourage the uptake
of BIPV and assesses the factors that lead to the most successful
market stimulation programmes. The final report on market
strategies was a very timely input to the UK
study conducted by BRE in 2001 looking at ways in which
the planned UK PV demonstration programme should operate.
Final
reports on each of these studies are under preparation. An
executive summary report on the outcomes of all 4 studies
is being prepared and will be distributed in mid 2002.
