Energy is considered a primary source of life in any society and is indeed one of the most
critical issues of development throughout history. Consequently, it plays a fundamental
role in achieving economic development for any country. This is why energy sources
have been a major cause of many conflicts and wars between nations. With
technological advancement, human needs for energy increase, leading to a higher
demand for energy sources, especially petroleum derivatives due to their ease of
transport and storage. The world is experiencing a clear crisis in traditional energy. In
Egypt, for instance, electricity prices rise annually, in addition to the environmental
pollution resulting from the consumption of this energy and the increase in carbon
dioxide emissions. The continuously growing population increases the demand for
housing, prompting the state to build numerous new housing units to accommodate this
urban expansion and meet the demand for housing due to the constant increase. This
also involves opening new axes and cities across the country during this period to
alleviate congestion around the banks of the Nile River. These factors significantly
shape cities, leading the world to search for environmentally friendly alternatives to
traditional energy. One of the most important alternatives is solar energy, which is
abundantly available in Egypt throughout the year. The research problem lies in the
potential use of the BIPV system (Building Integrated Photovoltaics), where solar
panels are integrated with the building envelope to produce electrical energy, a
contemporary reality in many countries worldwide. The research problem specifically
focuses on studying the feasibility of using this system in Egypt, where solar radiation
is abundantly available, based on the following hypothesis: ”The envelope of new
residential buildings in Egypt can become a significant source of sustainable electrical
energy production.” The significance of the research lies in the possibility of
transforming residential urban areas in Egypt from energy-consuming units to units
producing clean energy. It aims to provide a realistic solution for producing electrical
energy from the local urban context and to find a low-cost, sustainable, and clean energy
source. The research aims to reach a set of construction requirements for constructing
new residential buildings in Egypt using the BIPV system to achieve a sustainable
building suitable for local conditions. Additionally, the research aims to develop a set
of recommendations that can pave the way for the implementation of the BIPV system
in Egypt, and to develop preliminary features for formulating a new housing policy that
can be applied in fifth generation cities. This research falls within quantitative
experimental studies and is based on the following procedures: (1) practical
experimentation and (2) simulation processes on several virtual and real models, where
the simulation process relies on a set of applications to achieve the desired results.
The research consists of 9 chapters. The first chapter discusses the nature of the research
problem, the concept of energy, energy consumption, energy crises, climate change,
renewable energy sources, the aim of the research, its significance, the methodology
followed in the research, and previous studies. The second chapter addresses solar
energy, covering the source of solar energy and the classification and uses of solar
energy. The third chapter discusses the use of photovoltaic energy in architecture,
including the components of the photovoltaic system, the photovoltaic system, the
working method of the BIPV system, structural and mechanical considerations, climatic
considerations, environmental considerations, architectural considerations, and the
actual application of the BIPV system in architecture. These chapters constitute the
theoretical background of the study. The remaining chapters discuss practical study.
