Active Facades & Building Skins | Technological Constructions
Active Building Materials achieve a double function. They produce electricity and are used to replace conventional building materials in parts of the building envelope. ISSOL is a manufacturer and a project developper of Building Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV) for the construction sector.
The cost of BIPV
The cost of an active material is always to be compared to cost of its non-active equivalent.
The active material is always more cost effective because it is guaranteed to work for more than 30 years.
As an example : Isolated Glazing…
Cost of traditional Isolated Double Glazing
Total cost of Photovoltaic Isolated Double Glazing
Cost of inserting PV Technology
