Judges'' comments
Unfortunately, the author/s have not addressed some of the comments from the previous round, and the same concerns from the last review still remain.
Comparatively-limited in scope of potential application, and previous building integrated technology shows the primary barrier is effective long term integration of entire building envelope, systems, and control systems.

Judges'' comments
Comments from Judge 1:
Building integrated solar is not a new idea, but there could be new opportunities to reduce barriers to adoption. This proposal needs to expand on how it will reduce these barriers and what section of the market it will potentially address.
Comments from Judge 2:
The idea of using a concentrated solar collectors on building envelopes is not new-- see for example the Integrated Concentrating Solar Facade system - http://www.case.rpi.edu/page/project.php?pageid=1 The challenge is not so much in the technology itself, but how are you going to effectively integrate it into building facades? Those integration details are critical to assess viability in different building types. Having graphics showing how the system works and how they can be deployed in buildings would greatly enhance the proposal.
