Energy Efficient Buildings with BIPV Solutions
The use of solar power to help achieve higher energy ratings and environmental certifications for commercial buildings is a topic of increasing interest to architects, owners and developers of new builds and external envelope retrofits. Current standards and trends are driving the demand for more innovative building solutions, particularly advanced energy saving and energy generation technologies. The objective is to considerably lower the energy consumption of buildings while using to a significant extent renewable energy, including energy produced on-site or nearby.
A powerful strategic partnership
Guardian has partnered with Garantia Solar, a leading, well established company, to offer a complete range of BIPV product solutions, designed to help meet many projects requirements..
How it works
Building-Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV) is the integration of solar cells into the building envelope. Photovoltaic materials are used to replace conventional building materials in parts of the building envelope such as the roof, skylights, facades, canopies and spandrel glass. By simultaneously serving as building envelope material and power generator, BIPV systems may help reduce electricity costs, the use of fossil fuels and emission of ozone-depleting gases, as well as increase the value of the building.
