PREFABRICATED SOLAR PANELS

Objective

A co-operative service association named "POLISPORTIVA MODENA EST" commissioned a project to construct a polysportive hall. The building has a volume of 40000 cubic meters, with seven indoor zones as polyvalent sports halls.
The principal objective is to build prefabricated concrete walls in which innovative active solar air collectors are incorporated, at costs acceptable for public buildings.

The system is integrated in a sports building of about 40000 cubic meters divided in 7 zones with different destinations : sports hall, showers, bar, polyvalent hal, offices...
The technologies used for the climatization of the building are :
- Systems using solar energy :
. direct energy captation through glazings in the roof of the building;
. 500 square meters of solar air collectors integrated in the building walls and constructed according to the technology of pre-fabricated panels;
- Thermal system :
. the hot water needs are covered by the use of co-generators (30 kW electrical power) colled "TOTEM". Two solar air collector subsystems can be distinguished : 280 square meters are integrated in the south wall of the sports hall and 210 square meters are part of the hall for polyvalent use. The air in the sports hall is circulated through channels integrated in the roof to the north side all and returned through ducts in the floor. Summer time overheating is prevented byvalves, manually opened at the top of the collectors. The air is circulated by ventilators, in order to obtain the highest possible efficiency.
The solar system is assisted and integrated with an auxiliary heating system and independently for each of the zones. The hall for polyvalent use which can contain up to 1000 persons, has a sophisticated regulation, with a sensor for "air quality", to reduce the energy consumption.
