Abstract :
    Abstract The rising challenges of urban energy consumption and environmental degradation have prompted the integration of renewable energy systems into construction practices. Among them, photovoltaic (PV) technology has emerged as a prominent solution for sustainable electricity generation within urban buildings. This study investigates the implementation of PV systems in urban construction, with a particular emphasis on the role of Building Information Modeling (BIM), artificial intelligence, and construction management in optimizing design, installation, and performance. Utilizing a mixed-method approach, the research includes literature review, energy simulation via PVsyst and DesignBuilder, economic evaluation, and a case study of a residential project in Tehran. Results indicate that PV integration can reduce electricity dependency by up to 40%, with a payback period of approximately 5.3 years and annual carbon reduction of 35 tons. Moreover, the use of AI-powered BIM enhanced system efficiency by 12%. The study concludes that early-stage integration of digital tools and energy planning is crucial for the success of PV implementation in urban projects.
