由於建築物外殼具有太陽能發電潛力，在建築物外殼上佈設太陽能發電設備，已成為有效的建築節能模式。近年來，BIM已成為建築設計的趨勢，現有的BIM工具整合太陽能發電設計的模式是，首先在BIM軟體中建立建築的BIM模型，再匯出幾何資料至能源分析軟體進行分析，以求得日光照射量較充足的外殼區域，最後使用光電系統設計軟體，選擇適合的光電設備佈設在模型中，並計算設備的發電效益，在此一模式下，設計者必須同時熟悉三套軟體，但由於此類軟體多各自獨自發展，其操作介面的差異與軟體間潛在的相容性問題，會增加設計者的使用難度，並進而影響設計時的效率。故本研究將前述軟體進行系統整合，並提出新的設計模式，將能源分析軟體與光電系統設計軟體之功能整合至本研究客製開發的BIM設計工具中，其讓設計者不需離開BIM的設計環境，即可完成太陽能發電設計，並將結果直接整合於單一的BIM。本研究所提模式為設計者先使用BIM設計工具建立建築的BIM模型，並就已建立好的模型計算其耗能量需求，以估算所需太陽能發電設備的用量，接著透過資料交換將BIM匯入所整合的能源分析軟體對建築外殼做熱輻射分析，分析的結果再匯回BIM系統並於BIM上以顏色的層次呈現建築外殼所受到的日光照射量，設計者可依據呈現的顏色有效地於BIM外殼上加上太陽能發電設備，最後系統可就所佈設的設備進行發電量與經濟效益的評估，由於以上的設計操作皆整合在BIM工具中，故設計者可依評估結果進一步修改BIM模型中的建築幾何與發電設備，對單一整合的BIM做整體設計上的調整來達到設計目標。

This study proposes a new design model for deploying solar energy system on building. In the proposed model, the functions of energy analysis software and solar energy system design software are integrated in a customized BIM tools developed using Revit and its API. Such integration allows the users to do solar energy system design for building in BIM environment, and the design is directly integrated in the BIM. The user first use the BIM tool to build a BIM for a design building, then the geometric information of the BIM are exported to an energy analysis software for radiation analysis on the building envelope. After analysis, the BIM tool imports and displays the analysis results using color contour on BIM visually. Based on the color contour on BIM, the user can choose optimal location on the envelope of BIM to install solar panels. Finally, the BIM tools can calculate the power generation of current deployment.
