Semi-transparent ventilated cladding in a unique geometry building with integrated photovoltaics

The conference on the integration of photovoltaic power in construction, held at our facilities on the Miramón Technology Park, has raised great interest among manufacturers, designers, architects and installers of BIPV elements.

BIPV products enable electrical energy production to be combined with the functionality of traditional construction elements of the building envelope.

We present a real example of a semi-transparent ventilated cladding with the integration of photovoltaic elements. It partially enables light to pass and improves the temperature conditions inside the building. The façade has been integrated in our building, whose unique geometry has required special efforts in terms of design (architectural integration) and installation.

This type of BIPV developments are essential to fulfil one of the objectives of the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive: all new buildings must be nZEB (nearly Zero-Energy Buildings).

The developments presented at this conference have been carried out within the framework of the PVSITES project: “Building-integrated photovoltaic technologies and systems for large-scale market deployment”.
