Solar Buildings and Structural Wind Resilience in Wind Codes and Standards
This paper discusses thoroughly the regulatory design provisions of the current wind standards and codes of practice and their comprehensive scope for structural wind resilience of various photovoltaic systems, namely Building Attached Photovoltaics (BAPVs) on roofs or walls and Building-Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPVs) into building envelope or components. Energy resilience and structural resilience, which are always at the forefront of general building resilience, are closely linked. Structural resilience is concerned with the performance, serviceability, and functionality of any photovoltaic system fitted into the building or providing the building with energy. Ensuring structural resilience would significantly enhance the energy self-efficiency of the building; and thereafter, the energy resilience of the building. By surveying the set of provisions available in the current wind codes and standards, the paper stresses the need for substantial research progress to be made toward the evaluation of wind loads on PV modules at different installations.
