Abstract:
Photovoltaics (PV) should not only be valued as a promising buildingtechnology but also as a new challenge for architectural expression.
This has been demonstrated with the renovation of a laboratory building
in the Netherlands, constructed in 1963, To achieve a 75% energy saving
on building related energy consumption (i.e. heating, cooling, ventilation
and electricity use for building operation), the building has been equipped
with a PV integrated sunshade system on its south façade and roof, while
a PV awning has been used for the zone between façade and roof. The
façade is covered with 546 PV modules; the awning has 156 modules and
the roof 456 modules. The total output of the system is 72 kWp. In total,
approximately 620 m2 of PV has been
installed, thus saving over 90% of building related electricity consumption
(lighting, ventilation, elevators) and over 30% of the total electricity
consumption in the building. The project was supported by the EU Thermie
programme and by the Dutch Novem NOZ-PV programme.
The PV project is a collaboration of the Energy research Centre of the
Netherlands ECN, the Dutch utility NUON (former ENW), BEAR Architects
of the Netherlands, the Italian architects office Officine di Archittetura
di Cinzia Abbate, and the Danish manufacturer of sunshade systems Dasolas.
The PV system wil1 be monitored in detail until at least August 2003.
