HEINEKEN FACTORY · MEOQUI, MEXICO
NEW CONSTRUCTION
Heineken has positioned itself as a benchmark in terms of green building and sustainability. This distinction has been made possible through the use of state-of-the-art photovoltaic technology like the one supplied by Onyx Solar. The use of photovoltaic glass on this brewery's façade has opened up a range of aesthetic and functional possibilities. This material allows for greater flexibility in design, offering the opportunity to play with the colors of the façade, like green glass panels. Additionally, it contributes to better insulation, resulting in greater comfort for users. Finally, the energy generated through this innovative system is sufficient to supply all the offices and various process areas within the plant. This achievement represents a significant step towards energy self-sufficiency in several areas of the facility.
The photovoltaic glass used in the Heineken factory in Meoqui was specifically tailored to meet the environmental and architectural demands of the building. This glass façade not only enhances the overall appearance of the facility but also contributes to improving the building’s energy efficiency by reducing heat gain and optimizing natural light. The glass façade panels were carefully selected to align with Heineken's sustainability goals, ensuring that the factory maintains its energy-efficient operation while minimizing its carbon footprint. This project serves as a testament to how the integration of photovoltaic glass can provide both functional energy solutions and maintain a visually striking design that aligns with the client’s vision. The installation marks a significant milestone in Heineken's commitment to innovation and environmental responsibility, blending cutting-edge technology with the brewery's dedication to reducing its environmental impact.
"The number of things you can do in terms of design, color or shades with Onyx Solar gives you a very wide range of possibilities which does not limit you as other materials do."
