<DIV>Hi,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I am looking for research on the thermal impact of Building Integrated PVs (BIPV). Any experimental and or simulation data of PV roof integrations and their impact on the energy flow through the building envelope. Has there been any comparison between the BIPVs and regular building component heat flows, including factors such as the insulation level, the reflectance, thermal properties of the PVs as a layer and any shading.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks,</DIV>
