Objective

Demonstrate the integration of thermic shield and PV solar systems. Optimization study useful to develop multifunctional facade elements which provide good comfort conditions for public open spaces. Demonstrate the integration of panels providing both active and passive solar technologies. The innovative elements are the integration of the PV, passive and active solar technologies in one element. Also transparent insulation will be integrated.

The sport centre, including a swimming pool, will be built in San José in the island of Ibiza.
The thermical system is characterized because the walls that wraps the building are receivers or transmitters depending on the season and the building necessities. The solar used receivers permit the simultaneous circulation of the air (which will heat or cool those zones which need it) and a fluid which will allow to pass through the visible radiation but not the infrared radiation, in such a way that it will carry out the mission as a thermical shield. The calorific excess will be used to produce the necessary D.H.W. (Domestic hot water).
On the other hand, the Photovoltaic supply system will consist of :
- photovoltaic generation system made up of 560 panels creating a total peak power of 27,720 W.
- Storage system consisting of 220 lead/acid element of 2 volts and 800 Ah with a capacity for hours.
- Regulation and control system (for connecting/disconnecting the battery change).
- System for adapting energy to consumption (inverter-converter of 25 kW at 380 V; 50 Hz, with a yield of over 90%)
- System for energy distribution.
Because of the photoclimatic conditions in Ibiza, 2024 hours peak/year can be expected which will enable 42920 kWh/y to be generated, that is, 40,5 TOE will be produced over a period of fifteen years.
The main innovative technical aspects are :
- Novel system to integrate both active and passive solar energy system.
- New models which integrate the thermical shield and photovoltaic system.
- Innovate architecturally integration of those modules in the buildings.
- Increasing of the efficiency in solar energy recovering in facades.
- First application for a superstore building with open public spares.
- Integration of all these innovative aspects in the project.
