CHANCERY LANE

 

Located in the heart of London’s legal district, this building of nearly 10,000 m² is a renowned project executed by the McLaren Construction Group.

 

The building, consisting of 9 storeys of modern offices and of which Harrowood Assets Limited is proprietor, features a 130 m² skylight integrating solutions developed by Onyx Solar®.

 

 

Data:

• Total Area - 130 M²
• Electricity generated in 35 years  - 107,485 kWh
• Total lighting points operating 4 hours per day in 35 years - 210 lighting points
• CO₂ emmisions avoided in 35 years - 72 Tons of CO₂
• Barrels of oil saved in 35 years - 63 barrels per m²

 

 

 

The objective is to optimise the production of power while avoiding structural modifications and respecting the design of the building. For this reason, Onyx Solar® is an optimal choice, as it provides protection against the sun and generates power while improving the aesthetic appearance.

 

The panes forming the skylight are made of amorphous silicon with a L vision (20%) of semi-transparency degree. In addition to providing power in situ, these also provide natural lighting, ultraviolet and infrared radiation filter, and permanent protection against the climatic conditions of London.

 

 

 

Onyx Solar®‘s solution for this skylight generates a total of 3,700 kWh per year, making possible the powering of 210 lights and preventing the release of 2.5 tons of CO₂ into the atmosphere. The total installed power is 34 kWp.
