Report on standardization, performance risks and identification of related gaps for a performance-based qualification in BIPV

This deliverable, in a form of a report, will present the main gaps in the existing standards for a performance-based qualification of BIPV products. Such gaps will be identified from the analysis and the comparison among electro technical approaches (mainly prescriptive and product -specific) and construction requirements for building components (mainly performance based). The aim of this activity will be to provide possible approaches for extensions/developments of qualification procedures as well as normative that should be done in following tasks in order to guarantee quality, safety and reliability of BIPV product as both electrical and building elements. Work performed in Task 5.1.
