Objective
To encourage the application of PV-systems as part of the retrofit of a laboratory and office building.
This renewal will increase the energy efficiency of the building. Energy consumption will decrease with 75% thermal energy and 35% electrical energy.
The south facade with large windows will be renewed with a sophistical shading system with integrated PV-system. The quality of daylight will be better in combination with this system. The heat load of the building will be decreased. Energy savings by the PV-structure are 91% of the electrical energy for the building (artificial light, transportation, installations); The PV system is grid connected. These aspects will be architecturally integrated into a new facade.
Detailed design of lamellas, PV system, support system, mock-up; daylighting simulations, first model of lamella prototype section scale 1:1.
ENERGY TECHNOLOGY OBJECTIVES OF THE PROJECT:
The building is a typical example of a building with poor thermal insulation, heat bridges and bad energy consumption. Goal of this project is to achieve a successful integration of PV for both roof and facade applications, that will improve the energy efficiency of the building.
In particular the project propose to improve the quality of daylight and decrease the heat load of the building by :
- the introduction of a new sophisticated technology of shading device with integrated PV systems on the south facade;
- an innovative construction system for the integration of PV on the roof. The demonstration aspects are :
* the 70 kWp PV-system in 3 different integrated structures
wall 10 kWp
roof 25.8 kWp
facade 33.6 kWp
* architectural integration of PV-system in an existing building (retrofit)
* optimizing the solar gain and electricity output by the use of a PV-integrated shading system
* energy savings by balancing the daylight/artificial lighting and the heat load of the building
* a good view from the inside because of the manually movable lamella on eye height
DESCRIPTION OF THE PV-STRUCTURE:
- roof : This PV structure is optimised for solar gain. The structure is integrated in the architectural design and give the building a new look. The PV structure exist of 516 modules of 50 Wp each. The total power of the roof is 25.8 kWp - straircase facade : A vertical fixed Pv-system is mounted. This PV system has a power of 10 kWp
- office facade : the design of the shading device/PV system is important because of the climatic function of the facade. the solution for the facade is an integrated solution. The PV structure is used for : optimised PV solar gain, optimised shading of the building in the summer, diffuse daylight, maintenance of the building and cleaning the windows.
