ROOF- AND FACADE INTEGRATION OF PV SYSTEMS IN A LABORATORY BUILDING AN EXAMPLE OF PV INTEGRATION IN BUILDINGS (RENOVATION) THERMIE SE/115/97/NL/DK

摘要

Photovoltaics (PV), though not yet competitive in the economic sense, is a promising technology for future energy supply. In order to make PV more economical, PV integration in buildings is an option that may save money. The International Energy Agency has defined a task "PV in the Built Environment" (IEA Task VII). Within the subtask case-studies the buildings concerned are "followed" in order to learn from the processes and to disseminate experiences. One of these cases is a laboratory building, which is located in the Netherlands. The building was built in 1963 and will be renovated. Energy savings, compared to the present situation, will go tip to 75%. The building will be equipped with a PV integrated sun shading system for the south facade and roof, while transparent PV modules will be used for the staircases facade.
