GLEN ALLEN, Va., Feb. 9, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Industry analyst firm NanoMarkets today announced the addition of a new report to the firm's schedule of February reports titled,"BIPV Glass Markets-2012."  The report builds on the considerable amount of industry analysis that NanoMarkets has carried out in the BIPV, smart windows and related markets to provide an eight year forecast and roadmap for BIPV products.  Additional details about the report are available at http://nanomarkets.net/market_reports/report/bipv_glass_markets_2012
