| Abstract: | The gradual phasing down the coal induced the activity of climate technology to produce usable clean energy for replacing coal usage. However, most renewable technology, e.g., windmills and solar farm, require space to perform, which makes it not applicable in dense urban areas. Nevertheless, densely populated urban areas face challenges due to high populations that lead to high energy demands and land scarcity, which refrain from open space for performing energy transition activity. Acknowledge this issue; with the current research, the potential of Building Integrated Photovoltaic (BIPV) on tall building facades was evaluated. The study area is specifically located in the dense urban area of a developing country: in the Sudirman Central Business District of Jakarta, Indonesia. The study demonstrates that BIPV holds significant promise for optimizing land use in areas with scarce resources while generating substantial energy and reducing CO2 emissions. This conclusion is reinforced by feedback from decision-makers during participatory sessions conducted in Jakarta. Several analyses were conducted: sun irradiation, energy yield estimation, and environmental benefits for different facade orientations. The user interface was also developed to allow direct interaction to perform the BIPV simulation using a 3D geometry model on a map table during the participatory workshop involving nine different institutions. The participatory session to inform the stakeholder of BIPV’s potential represents the novelty of this research. The feedback received during these sessions was evaluated based on usability and added value indicators. The anticipated findings will be a starting point for BIPV enhancement in Indonesia to contribute to the country's efforts to combat climate change. |
