Introduction
The Linares Town Hall is a historic 19th century building, which symbolises the city. The BIPV system was integrated by replacing an old glass roof during the building renovation and expansion.
Technology integration
48 glass-glass photovoltaic modules (Onyx Solar) make up the new roof of the Linares Town Hall. Rectangular and triangular, and of various sizes, they are attached to a steel structure. Interspersed polycrystalline silicon photovoltaic cells are inserted to act as sunlight shields. Low emission glass is used. The overall thickness of the packet is 12 millimetres.
Energy integration
The photovoltaic production is estimated to be approximately 5,950 kWh per year. The building’s consumption related to the heating, cooling, and ventilation systems is reduced by 62 %.
Lessons learnt
The energy produced is estimated to be equivalent to 122 barrels of oil. This should prevent the emission of 118 tonnes of CO2 into the atmosphere.
