Ruukki is the first company to have developed a photovoltaic system that has been fully integrated into a facade to convert sun rays into energy. The solar power system does not depend on the sun's ...

While we're used to seeing buildings with photovoltaic panels on their roofs, the fronts of those buildings are typically panel-free. German researchers are working on putting that space to use, with ...

Learn how SolarLab's BIPV systems redefine energy integration in architecture, enhancing aesthetics and efficiency.

The Poland-based module manufacturer has developed Photonwall, a building integrated solution for ventilated façades. It also offers Photonroof, a ceramic PV roof tile solution. Both BIPV products are ...

Renewable energy sources like solar are gaining momentum more than ever as the globe searches for ways to meet its energy needs without releasing carbon dioxide. Now, the first-ever "solar facade" is ...

Heat pumps are currently seeing something of a boom in the heating technology market. However, not every property has sufficient space to accommodate the external air unit needed for an air-to-water ...

The principal facades, of double-glazed fixed lights in birch frames, stainless-steel panels and Cor-Ten panels, are enclosed in an outer glass skin supported by a delicate framework of Cor-Ten ...

As we move away from gas usage for heating homes, the demand for heat pumps rises. These pumps can elevate heat from the subsurface to usable warmth for tap water or space heating. A novel technique ...

Traditional photovoltaic panels, while an excellent source of renewable solar energy, have some design flaws. One of the main drawbacks is that they require lots of ...
