This study presents the development of a control-oriented model for Building Integrated Photovoltaic Thermal (BIPV/T) systems. Model-based control strategies could optimize their coupled operation with the building Heating Ventilation and Air-Conditioning (HVAC) system and maximize the heat utilization. Two transient simulation models (1 st order and 2 nd order) are developed using Python, validated with experimental data and compered to each other. Finally, simulation results are presented where the range of possible outlet air temperatures for different mass flow rates are identified.
