Description:Solar-ready designs have become a new standard for residential houses in preparation for the future installation of a solar system on their roofs. However, the current literature largely lacks considerations of the safety of solar installers, and hence, the application of Prevention through Design (PtD) to solar-ready houses has been significantly limited. In response, the main objective of this study is to develop a PtD design checklist and BIM (Building Information Modeling) models for new solar-ready houses. The study involved interviews and a survey with industry professionals, and case studies of existing solar-ready houses. The study results are expected to support designers to proactively get involved in promoting PtD for solar-ready houses—through the use of the checklist and BIM models.
