BIPV & Solar Architecture Training

Organised by: DEWA Sustainability & Innovation Centre in collaboration with SUPSI & IEA PVPS
Dates: 02 February 2026 – 04 February 2026
Location: DEWA’s Sustainability & Innovation Centre, Dubai, UAE
Language: English
Cost: Dhs 8,568

Course Description

This training provides participants with a comprehensive introduction to Building-Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV) and solar architecture, examining the architectural, technical, and economic factors that shape feasibility and design decisions. The program aims to strengthen interdisciplinary competencies, bridging architectural design and solar technology through interactive and applied learning.

Led scientifically by the SUPSI BIPV group and featuring contributions from IEA PVPS and other international experts, the course adopts a practice-oriented approach rooted in real-world experience. Rather than focusing on academic or theoretical aspects, it provides concrete insights into problem-solving strategies, clarifying the roles and responsibilities of key stakeholders through EU and international case studies of major pilot and built projects.

Participants gain a multidimensional perspective, along with direct exchange and contacts with experts,encompassing architecture, construction technology, process management, market dynamics, and industry development offering lessons and methodologies that are directly applicable to dynamic and rapidly evolving markets such as the Middle East.

Learning Objectives

By the end of the program, participants are expected to:

  • Understand photovoltaics as a building material
  • Understand architectural design strategies for BIPV
  • Learn how to integrate BIPV analysis into a BIM-based workflow
  • Explore real-world case studies and simulation methods
  • Examine international standards and recommendations for performance
  • Analyze BIPV market trends
  • Assess cost competitiveness of BIPV solutions

Admission / Target Audience

This course is open to professionals such as:

  • Architects and civil engineers, urban planners, city scientists
  • Real estate professionals and developer
  • Project managers, business developers
