POCITYF

A POsitive Energy CITY Transformation Framework

Programme: H2020. European Commision

 

POCITYF is a smart city-oriented project, whose major goal is to deliver a set of Positive Energy Blocks – a limited geographic area whose average local renewable generation is greater than its consumption – in the Lighthouse cities of Evora (PT) and Alkmaar (NL) and their Fellow cities Granada (ES), Bari (ΙΤ), Celje (SI), Ujpest (HU), Ioannina (GR) and Hvidovre (DK).

 

With the creation of Positive Energy Blocks and Districts, POCITYF aims to transform those cities’ mixed-urban environments, with a strong emphasis on cultural and historical protected areas, into cheaper, healthier, more accessible and reliable spaces for their citizens. In one word, to improve, in a sustainable and citizen-driven manner, the wellbeing in the mentioned cities.

 

To achieve that, POCITYF will deploy a total of 10 integrated solutions, comprising 73 individual innovative elements (technologies, tools, methods), rooted under existing City Information Platforms. The project will be carried out along 4 Energy Transition Tracks (ETT), namely:

 

 

  • ETT#1: tackling the transformation of existing and new building stock into energy positive;

  • ETT#2: focusing on the application of grid flexibility strategies and storage systems, supported by DSM platforms for optimizing energy flows to maximize self-consumption and reduce grid stress;

  • ETT#3: addressing the integration of e-Mobility to promote the decarbonisation of the mobility sector and alleviate inner-city traffic;

  • ETT#4: as an enabling layer of the above transition tracks, this intends to offer inclusive and holistic services for interdisciplinary citizen engagement and cocreation strategies with the city stakeholders and industry, towards the development of each city’s own bold city-vision up to 2050.

 

Overall, POCITYF will, therefore, add layers of smartness in key city infrastructures, technologies and services (i.e. buildings, energy grid, e-mobility), creating new possibilities to make cities safer, greener and more responsive to the needs of their citizens, businesses and other organizations.

 

ONYX participates in POCITYF as members of Evora's lighthouse ecosystem and it will further develop and adapt its solutions on demo sites. PV canopies and PV-skylights solutions will be part of the POCITYF technology repository and will be further adapted and implemented in the defined Evora’s demonstration areas.

 

Currently ongoing project.

AMORPHOUS SILICON GLASS

AMORPHOUS
SILICON GLASS

Not only amorphous silicon glass is proving to be the ideal material to be used in vertical applications such as curtain walls and ventilated facades; but also, because of its features, this material is ideal to be used in horizontal applications such as skylights.

VIDRIO DE SILICIO CRISTALINO

CRYSTALLINE
SILICON GLASS

Crystaline silicon glass is the best option when energy ouput goes first. This technology offers a high kWp installed per square feet and therefore, it has greater energy yield potential.

OVER 350 PROJECTS AROUND THE WORld are proof of our experience

Our photovoltaic glass has already been installed in a wide variety of buildings in more than 350 projects across the planet, ranging from government buildings to railway stations and bus stops.

 

World´s leading companies and institutions such as Apple Inc, Novartis Pharmaceuticals, Samsung, Coca-Cola, Heineken, Pfizer, G.W University to name a few, have led the adoption of photovoltaic glass within their industries.

 

We have provided design assistance to prominent architectural firms such as Foster + Partners, Gensler, Perkins + Will, S.O.M, A.S + G.G among others. Onyx Solar has also participated in joint ventures with general contractors such as Turner, Skanska, Jacobs, KPRS, ACS and Ferrovial.

 

  • Tanjong Pagar

    Tanjong Pagar

    Located in the middle of Singapore’s financial center, this 64-story tower is the tallest building in the country. Its design, carried out by S.O.M., the New York-based architectural firm, and construction was commissioned by the Korean multinational Samsung. Onyx contributed with the installation of a large photovoltaic canopy of 27,986 sq ft covering the main entrance to the building.

  • PFIZER GENYO LABS

    PFIZER GENYO LABS

    The walls of the building are lined with semi-transparent, amorphous silicon photovoltaic glass panes which are anchored to the existing structure, thus enabling air to flow in the space between the panes and the walls of the building. Thanks to this innovative design, Pfizer offices are enjoying natural light, better thermal insulation and free clean energy with no CO2 emissions.

  • Dubai Frame

    Dubai Frame

    The Dubai Frame is an eye-catching impressive rectangular picture frame-shaped building rising 150 meters (492 Ft) from Dubai’s Zabeel Park, spanning 105 meters (344 Ft) horizontally. It attracted a million visitors from around the world during its first year of opening in 2018 and offered them stunning views of the city's past and present. This iconic skyscraper is considered one of the world´s most popular tourist attractions nowadays. Onyx Solar, the world’s leading manufacturer of photovoltaic (PV) glass, supplied gold color photovoltaic glass for its rainscreen cladding system.

  • Bell Works

    Bell Works

    Bell Works is the product of the successful revitalization of the two-million-square-foot Bell Laboratories in Holmdel, New Jersey. The mixed-use ‘metroburb’ is now a popular destination to work, shop, dine and more. Onyx Solar has supplied Bell Works with amorphous silicon photovoltaic glass panes, to cover a total area of 60,000 sq ft, and create the largest photovoltaic skylight in the USA. Because Bell Works is a landmark protected building, Onyx Solar had to design glass panes similar to the original ones.These glass modules provide this multipurpose building with a lot of natural lighting by capturing daylight and are also able to produce electricity free of CO2 emissions.

  • COCA COLA-FEMSA HQ

    COCA COLA-FEMSA HQ

    Onyx Solar photovoltaic glass panes were installed on the façade of FEMSA´s headquarters, which is the largest Coca-Cola bottling plant company in the world (Monterrey, México). The walls of the building are lined with semi-transparent, amorphous silicon photovoltaic glass panes which are anchored to the existing structure, thus enabling air to flow in the space between the panes and the walls of the building. Thanks to this innovative design, these main offices are enjoying natural light, better thermal insulation and cleaner energy with less CO2 emissions. The energy that the glass panes produce covers up to 15% of the building´s energy requirements.
