GENYO BUILDING

PHOTOVOLTAIC FAÇADE

 

This building belonging to the multinational pharmaceutical company Pfizer is now not only much more sustainable from an energetic standpoint. Additionally, the lining made up of two-coloured photovoltaic glass panes randomly positioned along the walls has also clearly contributed to the enhancement of the building catching the pedestrians´ attention.

 

The facade features two-coloured amorphous silicon glass panes with a semi-transparency degree of 20% (L vision) covering a total active surface area of 550 m2.

This project with an installed power capacity of 19.3 kWp generates 32,000 kWh of energy per year. It prevents the consumption of 19 barrels of oil on a yearly basis.

 

This building which is the centre for Genomics and Oncological Research (GENYO) is located in the Health Science Technological Park (PTS) in Granada (Spain). It uses the photovoltaic glass lining for the production of a considerable amount of energy it consumes giving power to exactly 1,814 lighting points inside the building.

 

Furthermore, insulation both thermal and sound is increased, ensuring significant energy savings in heating and air handling systems.
