The "PV/T-Slate" is a recently developed ventilated photovoltaic slate for integration into roofs or facades. As side effect of the cell cooling the heated air can be used. Therefore it is useful to simulate air volume rate and temperature. To further investigate the practical use of the gained heat in any housing technology, it is of big advantage, when this happens in an existing building simulation code. This paper presents a physical model for the PV/T- Slate in the "Neutral Modelling Format" NMF and its validation. The building simulation program IDA ICE ("Indoor Climate and Energy", see EQUA 2002) allows to integrate this component model into a model for the whole building.
