Abstract
Solar architecture is defined as a kind of building integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) in which the PV modules are deployed to passive solar concepts, to minimize the heating and cooling load, to upgrade the indoor environment, and to be adjustable for regional weather and to continuously succeed architectural culture. Solar architecture needs to consider the architectural culture and climate of the region through an ecological convergence. The ecological criteria lead to optimizing solar architecture through an ecological convergence of a passive intelligence and renewable energy system. The optimal angle of the bi-facial PV module as a shade is 23.5° considering the physical interaction and the traditional architecture in Korea according to the ecological criteria. The shading concept of the PV module reduces 27.5~34% of the building cooling load. Effective solar irradiance (ESR) is very important not only for PV efficiency but also for the system usage rate. This ESR should be controlled depending on the climate condition to maximize the total energy elimination factor and total energy transmittance factor for a window. The MB-BIPVS play an excellent role to maximize the total energy elimination factor and total energy transmittance factor for a window.

2008~Feb. 2012) in the architectural institute of Korea (AIK), the Korean Solar Energy Society (KSES, Jun. 2013~present), the Korean Society of Living Environment System (KSLES, Feb. 2013~present), KIAEBS (Jun. 2011), and KOPIA (Jun. 2011) have presented and discussed together the assessing standard and the data needed for this solar architecture, which we have suggested based on a theoretical background from building physics such as heat, light and acoustics to deploy an environment-friendly photovoltaic system in a form of forum [4], workshop [5] and symposium [6]
Other research has shown that lighting electricity for a high-rise building can be supplied by photovoltaic panels in the building, which work in a combination of facades [7]
Summary
There are various strategies to design environmentally friendly and sustainable buildings in many different countries. The 5 different institutes including the new renewable energy committee (NREC, Apr. 2008~Feb. 2012) in the architectural institute of Korea (AIK), the Korean Solar Energy Society (KSES, Jun. 2013~present), the Korean Society of Living Environment System (KSLES, Feb. 2013~present), KIAEBS (Jun. 2011), and KOPIA (Jun. 2011) have presented and discussed together the assessing standard and the data needed for this solar architecture, which we have suggested based on a theoretical background from building physics such as heat, light and acoustics to deploy an environment-friendly photovoltaic system in a form of forum [4], workshop [5] and symposium [6]. A high-rise apartment with a solar architecture integrated bifacia photovoltaic (BIPV) system as a shade is evaluated by ecological design criteria for sola architecture.
