The book begins by introducing the basics to readers interested in learning about this technology and then outlines in an accessible way, a practical development plan for the installation and monitoring of these systems in residential, industrial, and commercial buildings.  Chapters discuss the needs of installing, designing, and sizing and provide a financial analysis for a successful implementation of a BIPV system.  This book is a useful tool for renewable energy designers, energy contractors, architects, government institutions, and those in the academic community who are interested in seamlessly integrating solar panels into the construction phase of new building projects or retrofitted into existing buildings.Renewable energy resourcesEnergy systemsSustainable architectureEnergy storageRenewable and Green Energyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/111000Energy Systemshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/115000Sustainable Architecture/Green Buildingshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/122000Energy Storagehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/116000Renewable energy resources.Energy systems.Sustainable architecture.Energy storage.Renewable and Green Energy.Energy Systems.Sustainable Architecture/Green Buildings.Energy Storage.621.042Aristizábal Cardona Andrés Juliánauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut955310Páez Chica Carlos Arturoauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autOspina Barragán Daniel Hernánauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autBOOK9910299600903321Building-Integrated Photovoltaic Systems (BIPVS)2161312UNINA04542nam 22007094a 450 991095967790332120200520144314.09786611181727978128118172512811817229780881324457088132445097814356314271435631420(CKB)1000000000484119(OCoLC)290580208(CaPaEBR)ebrary10231498(SSID)ssj0000136389(PQKBManifestationID)11147077(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000136389(PQKBWorkID)10082316(PQKB)11494445(MiAaPQ)EBC3385477(Au-PeEL)EBL3385477(CaPaEBR)ebr10231498(Perlego)773524(EXLCZ)99100000000048411920020227d2002 uy 0engurcn|||||||||txtccrDelivering on debt relief from IMF gold to a new aid architecture /Nancy Birdsall, John Williamson with Brian Deese1st ed.Washington, DC Institute for International Economics20021 online resource (179 p.)Bibliographic Level Mode of Issuance: Monograph9780881323313 0881323314 Includes bibliographical references (p. 147-150) and index.Cover -- Contents -- Foreword -- Preface -- Chapter 1 Introduction -- Group A versus Group B -- Expanding Debt Relief -- Reinventing the Aid Architecture -- Appendix 1.1 Ten Questions about Debt and Debt Relief -- Chapter 2 The HIPC Initiative: Background and Critiques -- The Heavily Indebted Poor Countries -- Recent Debt Relief Initiatives -- The Enhanced HIPC Framework -- Critiques of the Enhanced HIPC Initiative -- Chapter 3 The Case for More -- Debt Sustainability -- The Millennium Development Goals -- Chapter 4 What Form of More? -- Political Resonance -- Additionality -- Redistribution -- Efficiency -- Country Selectivity -- Summary -- Chapter 5 Deepening and Extending Debt Reduction -- Deeper Relief -- Making More Countries Eligible -- A Contingency Facility -- Financing More Debt Relief -- Chapter 6 A New Aid Architecture -- The HIPC Procedure -- Grants, Not Just Loans -- Incremental Proposals to Increase Donor Accountability -- Donor Incentives for Selectivity -- Exploiting Multilateralism: The Common Pool -- Sovereign Debt: Building on the HIPC Initiative -- Chapter 7 Conclusions -- Whether to Extend More Debt Relief -- How to Extend the HIPC Initiative -- Cost of the Extensions -- Toward a New Aid Architecture -- Appendix A Multilateral Institutions Participating in the HIPC Initiative -- Appendix B Countries Classified by Income -- Appendix C Odious Debt -- Democratic Republic of Congo (Zaire) -- Kenya -- Nicaragua -- Pakistan -- Uganda -- References -- Glossary -- Index.This study brings readers up to date on the complicated and controversial subject of debt relief for the poorest countries of the world. What has actually been achieved? Has debt relief provided truly additional resources to fight poverty? How will the design and timing of the "enhanced Heavily Indebted Poor Country (HIPC) initiative" affect the development prospects of the world's poorest countries and their people? The study then moves on to address several broader policy questions: Is debt relief a step toward more efficient and equitable government spending, building better institutions, and attracting productive private investment in the poorest countries? Who pays for debt relief? Is there a case for further relief? Most important, how can the case for debt relief be sustained in a broader effort to combat poverty in the poorest countries?
