Frost & Sullivan: Building Integrated Photovoltaics and Heat Pumps Markets on a Growth Path

Nov. 9, 2010 - PRLog -- London – 9 November, 2010 – The building industry and especially the adoption of renewable energy in buildings in residential and commercial sectors, has suffered from the latest economic crisis. However, the performance of two micro-generation technologies – Building Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV) and heat pumps is on a dynamic growth path in Europe thanks to incentive based legislation. The market is highly dependent on the support offered by the governments for renewable technologies, as they are not competitive commercially against traditional substitutes in the short term.

The newest trends and developments on the European Building Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV) and Heat Pumps Markets will be discussed during the upcoming Frost & Sullivan’s Analyst Briefing, scheduled for Wednesday, 17 November 2010, at 14.00 GMT. Neetha Jayanth, Senior Research Analyst from the Environment & Building Technologies group will present European market forecast, regions that will power growth and also end user segment analysis. Furthermore, Ms Jayanth will discuss growth influencers and compare the prospects for BIPV and heat pumps.

“In a post-recession scenario, with new constructions slowing down and government subsidies and incentives being withdrawn, the growth of renewable energy technologies in buildings is threatened,” notes Neetha Jayanth, “However, with the dawn of a new age in terms of environmental awareness and consciousness amongst public and the adoption of environment friendly policies by governments, the prospects for micro-generation are high.”

This briefing will benefit manufacturers of heat pumps, solar module and other BIPV component manufacturers and distributors of both technologies by providing forward projections of industry performance. It will also be beneficial for investors involved in renewable energy projects associations and institutions engaged in this area, as well as other parties interested in renewable energy development.
