The objective of this research is to identify the economic parameters of BIPV systems By identifying these key parameters decision-makers are enabled with the ability . . . . . . identifying these key parameters decision-makers are enabled with the ability to appraise the economic feasibility and implications of investments in BIPV power systems.

Building permit fees are based on the estimated cost of construction or square footage, and, therefore, may be increased by the addition of a BIPV system. One should contact local land use and building design officials to identify specific project requirements, and use only the The 2nd World Solar Electric Buildings Conference: Sydney 8th-10th March 2000 added permit costs in an economic analysis of a BIPV system. Software by Governmental Data Services (GDS), Incorporated, provides for complete contractor management, including the mechanism to enter building permits and calculate permit . . . . . . system can be designed according to the buildings heating, cooling and daylighting loads, or it can be deliberately oversized to generate surplus energy depending on how it is valued by the utility and how much it costs to generate. The added costs associated with the hardware and design of hybrid BIPV/thermal systems would necessitate a careful economic evaluation. Empirical data on hybrid system performance and benefits are currently limited. 3.6 Environmental Benefits When generating electricity, BIPV power systems produce no harmful environmental emissions. .or example, the US Department of Interior, . . . --3000,5,300,2958,25942
