Abstract
Recently, eco-friendly energy has been employed in diverse fields of industry in order to reduce environmental pollution and secure a new growth engine. In particular, practical applications of photovoltaic energy, such as building integrated photovoltaic systems, have been implemented to the construction industry based on the extensive interest in photovoltaic power as an unlimited and sustainable energy. While the construction of a high-rise building requires large amounts of energy, methods of reducing energy consumption in the construction phase have rarely been studied. Based on this motivation, the research proposes a photovoltaic based formwork system (PVFS), and then performs a design and feasibility analysis for its application to the construction of a high-rise building. Using a case study, the research implements various analyses, including area, position, and total allowable weight required by PVFS, and evaluates the influences of PVFS on the construction processes, as well as its economic feasibility. The proposed PVFS can be adopted to a real-world project in the near future, depending on the advancement of technology and economic feasibility. The results of this research will contribute to establishing a construction environment that promotes a reduction of energy consumption by using eco-friendly energy in the construction phase.
