VALLADOLID UNIVERSITY - CAMPUS LA YUTERA
New skylight completed for the University of Valladolid, this time, its campus in Palencia, Spain.
This 1938 building was an old factory whose function was to provide jute sacks to pack beet sugars. Times have changed in this emblematic building, where we will now find books and university material.

Data:
- Total Area - 168 M2
- Electricity generated in 35 years - 611,183 kWh
- Total lighting points operating 4 hours per day in 35 years - 1,201 lighting points
- CO2 emmisions avoided in 35 years - 409 Tons ofCO2
- Barrels of oil saved in 35 years - 360 barrels per m2
We have rehabilitated the existing skylights with crystalline monocrystalline silicon photovoltaic glass with separation between the cells to allow natural light to enter.
This double laminated glass has been manufactured with solar control properties to reduce and filter direct radiation.
The energy generated will feed 1,200 points of light and prevent 400 tons of CO2 into the atmosphere.
