ALZIRA TOWN HALL

 

This photovoltaic skylight, integrated into the Town Hall of Alzira in Valencia, is comprised of low-e amorphous silicon photovoltaic glass modules with a semi-transparency degree of 10% (M vision).

 

Data:

• Total area- 112 M²
• Electricity generated in 35 years - 30,125 kWh
• Total light points operating 4 hours a day in 35 years - 59 lighting points
• CO₂ emissions avoided in 35 years - 20 Tons of CO₂
• Barrels of oil saved in 35 years - 18 barrels per m²

 

The skylight enables the passage of daylight, facilitating the natural illumination of the courtyard while preventing the overheating of the building due to its solar (g) factor of between 5% and 40%, this making it an optimal choice for the prevention of the greenhouse effect, particularly in warm climates such as that of Valencia.

 

Furthermore, due to its photovoltaic properties it generates over 1,000 kWh yearly and prevents the release of almost 1 ton of CO₂ each year. The total installed power capacity is 5,1 kWp.
