The European Commission also participates in the work of the IEA. The IEA Photovoltaic Power Systems Programme (PVPS) is one of the collaborative R & D Agreements established within the IEA. Since 1993, the PVPS participants have been conducting a variety of joint projects in the application of photovoltaic conversion of solar energy into electricity. The mission of the Photovoltaic Power Systems Programme is “to enhance the international collaboration efforts which accelerate the development and deployment of photovoltaic solar energy as a significant and sustainable renewable energy option”. The underlying assumption is that the market for PV systems is gradually expanding from the present niche markets of remote applications and consumer products, to the rapidly growing markets for building-integrated and other diffused and centralised PV generation systems. The overall programme is headed by an Executive Committee composed of one representative from each participating country, while the management of individual research projects (Tasks) is the responsibility of Operating Agents. By the end of 2007, twelve Tasks were established within the PVPS programme. The objective of Task 10 is to enhance the opportunities for wide-scale, solution-oriented application of photovoltaics (PV) in the urban environment as part of an integrated approach that maximizes building energy efficiency and solar thermal and Photovoltaics usage. The Task’s long term goal is for urban-scale PV to be a desirable and commonplace feature of the urban environment in IEA PVPS member countries. The report expresses, as nearly as possible, the international consensus of opinion of the Task10 experts on the subjects dealt with. Further information on the activities and results of the Task can be found at: http://www.iea-pvps.org and http://www.iea-pvps-task10.org 1 IEA-PVPS-Task 10 Community-Scale Solar Photovoltaics: Housing and Public Development Examples Acknowledgement This technical report has been prepared under the supervision of PVPS Task 10, and in co- operation with PV-UP-SCALE (a European funded project under the Intelligent Energy for Europe programme). Author of this Report is especially grateful to the following experts for providing valuable information and comments to this report: - Anna Cornander (the Skåne Energy Agency, Sweden) - Bruno Gaiddon (Hespul, France) - Christy Herig (Segue Energy Consulting, United States of America) - David Elzinga (NRCan, Canada) - Demet Suna (EEG, Austria) - Donna Munro (Halcrow, the United Kingdom) - Emil ter Horst (Horisun, the Netherlands) - Emily Rudkin (Halcrow, the United Kingdom) - Julia Angehrn (Energieburo Ltd., Switzerland) - Kenn H.B. Frederiksen (EnergiMidt A/S, Denmark) - Kyung-Shick Yoon (Aju Energy, Korea) - Mark Snow (University of North South Wales, Australia) - Mats Andersson (Energibanken AB, Sweden) - Pierre Bonhôte (Planair SA, Switzerland) - Shogo Nishikawa (Nihon university, Japan) 2 IEA-PVPS-Task 10 Community-Scale Solar Photovoltaics: Housing and Public Development Examples Executive Summary A major step towards mainstreaming PV on an Urban Scale is communities that standardise PV technology in the housing or community design. This report provides examples of housing developments and incorporated townships that have integrated multiple stakeholder values 1 into business solutions. Total installed distributed PV power in the IEA PVPS countries reached 5,7 GW in 20062. In the emerging distributed energy market, community- scale PV is the key to portfolio diversity with benefits far beyond the community of installations. The database was developed with a template for gathering the information distributed to Task 103 and PV-UP-SCALE participants resulting in 38 communities surveyed. Most of the community scale PV examples are residential. There is also one Swedish example of the City of Malmo installing PV on public buildings. The community examples are categorised as ‘residential – urban’ and ‘public’. This collection of examples is not all inclusive and diverse communities combining commercial, residential and/or public building PV installations and loads may result in more benefits to all stakeholders.4 Truly integrated PV communities can maximise the benefits through careful planning and multilateral involvement of all stakeholders. The urban scale PV market is not the bilateral (customer/utility) relationship of traditional central generation electricity sales. When urban scale PV is mainstreamed, the planning and business relationships

    'A Grand Stage for Kōsen Rufu in the Future': Sōka Gakkai in Austria

    1 ‘A Grand Stage for kōsen rufu in the Future’: Sōka Gakkai in Austria, 1961–1981 Lukas Pokorny 1. Introduction A flag bearer of global Engaged Buddhism, Sōka Gakkai (Value Creation Society) is Japan’s single largest religious organisation with affiliations ‘in 192 countries and territories worldwide’.1 Today this international Buddhist network—operating since 1975 under the name of Soka Gakkai Interna- tional (SGI)—reports a membership of twelve million people,2 of which 8.27 million ‘households’ (setai) belong to the Japanese branch.3 Though Acknowledgments: This research benefited considerably from the support given by members of SGI Austria. I am also indebted to Johannes Sinabell of the Department for Questions about World Views of the Catholic Archdiocese of Vienna (Referat für Welt- anschauungsfragen der Erzdiözese Wien) and Sarah-Allegra Schönberger of the Depart- ment for the Study of Religions at the University of Vienna. I would also like to thank SGI Austria and Japan for their permission to reproduce pictures contained in the appen- dix. Notes on Romanisation and Style: Japanese terms and names are romanised using the Modified Hepburn system. The romanisation of Chinese is in accordance with the Hànyǔ Pīnyīn system including tonal marks. The transliteration of Sanskrit follows the IAST. Japanese names are written according to East Asian custom: family name precedes per- sonal name. 1 See http://www.sgi.org/about-us/history-of-sgi/history-of-sgi.html (accessed: April 12, 2014). 2 See http://www.sgi.org/about-us/what-is-sgi.html (accessed: February 6, 2014). 3 Traditionally, Sōka Gakkai counts its Japanese membership in households, which does not mean that all members of a family are indeed followers, but that at least one person in the respective household appears as such.
