In spite of the entire world's dependence on energy, fossil fuel reserves we use are close to depletion limit. Nowadays, all the responsibility of the building envelope was loaded onto glass technology through design of glass box office buildings. Buildings to be compatible with the environment throughout their life cycle are expected to design with passive building criteria and equip with active systems. A PV system using as a shading device creates a system that provides protection and benefits from the sun. Building integrated photovoltaic modules on the one hand perform energy production on the other hand reduce cooling costs by shading transparent surfaces on building facade on heating period. In this way, use of fossil fuel based energy purchased from grid will be reduced. In this paper, an approach is explained about how to design two basic systems together. A comparison is made between the steps of this study. The energy performance of an office building is evaluated by changing the ratio of transparency on the building envelope and the addition of shading elements and using PV element as a shading device.
