The main long-term goal of international communities is to achieve sustainable development. This issue is currently highly topical in most European Union (EU) countries due to the ongoing energy crisis. Building Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV), which can be integrated into the building surface (roof or facade), thereby replacing conventional building materials, contributes significantly to achieving zero net energy buildings. However, fire safety is important when using BIPV as a structural system in buildings, and it is essential that the application of BIPV as building facades and roofs does not adversely affect the safety of the buildings, their occupants, or the responding firefighters. As multifunctional products, BIPV modules must meet fire safety requirements in the field of electrical engineering as well as in the construction industry. In terms of building regulations, the fire safety requirements of the BIPV must comply with national building regulations. Within this article, aspects and fire hazards associated with BIPV system installations will be defined, including proposals for installation and material requirements that can help meet fire safety.

“…Opening the roof would reduce the indoor temperature by about 1–2°C, which would greatly reduce the air conditioning load and makes people more comfortable. 8 The retractable roof of the natatorium has great advantages in improving the quality of the indoor environment. Compared with natatoriums that do not have retractable roofs, the indoor environment of natatoriums with retractable roofs is more adjustable.…”

“…[3][4][5][6] The high energy consumption had produced constrained economic growth in China but also caused tremendous pressure on the ecological environment. [7][8][9] Therefore, improving building energy efficiency would have produced great practical significance for energy-saving while achieving emission reduction in China. 10 According to the Data Communique of the Sixth National General Survey of Sports Venues published by the General Administration of Sport of China in 2014, up to 31 December 2013, China had a total of 1,694,600 sports venues, with a land area of 3.982 billion m 2 and a construction area of 259 million m 2 .…”

The Star-ccm + multiphysics simulation software was used to perform Computer Fluid Dynamic (CFD) simulation on the five operating conditions of a swimming pool at the Jiading Swimming Hall of Tongji University in Shanghai, to determine the energy efficiency of these operations. The indoor environment of each working condition was evaluated. The relationship between the opening and closing area ratio and the indoor environment was also evaluated and obtained the optimal opening area ratio for the Jiading Swimming Hall. The simulation research of the open–closed roof further confirmed that the open–closed roof technology can effectively adjust the internal environment of the swimming pool in summer. The open–closed roof could improve the indoor comfort and reduce the summer energy consumption of the swimming pool and could also provide an organically integrate architectural art feature and technology to create a new stadium design.

Building Integrated Photo Voltaic (BIPV) systems are a promising technology that offer numerous benefits, including energy savings, reduced carbon emissions, and improved aesthetics. However, designing and implementing BIPV systems that are efficient and effective requires careful consideration of several factors. These include high building design, colored PV modules, optimization systems, and policies and regulations. By integrating PV modules into the building's design and using advanced control and monitoring systems to maximize energy generation, BIPV systems can achieve significant energy savings and carbon emission reductions. The deployment of BIPV systems is also influenced by financial incentives and building codes. This review paper, will first discuss the various definitions proposed for different types of energy consumption, followed by the concept of "prosumer."The next section will focus on policies, followed by the different types of technologies for BIPV proposed in the literature, including pioneering countries in the sector. After reviewing the costs of various models and the different optimization techniques proposed in the literature, it will conclude by discussing the various challenges and opportunities of such systems.
