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 casestudies 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 up 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.
