Objective
Aim of the IMS project is to develop an innovative technology and the industrial production process for a completely Building Integrated ThermoPhotovoltaic and Thermoelectric-climate conditioning solution. The system called Integrated Modular System (IMS) is conceived as a completely building integrated and self standing energy system; IMS works as bioclimatic regulator, realising a trivalent effect (Thermal-Photovoltaic-HVAC) in the same element, exploiting solar radiation as its primary energy source and making the building completely independent from the energetic point of view.
The product is designed to be produced with relatively low cost and on flexible support, in order to be easily mounted with yard techniques and completely integrated in building during construction and restoration phrase. The aim of the project is to apply the most innovative and advanced nano-films production solutions achieved in Thermoelectrical and Photovoltaic field to obtain unique performances for the proposed system.
