Photovoltaic double facade full scale experiments.

Summary

The energy demand of a building can be reduced through insulation and a greater use of passive temperature control techniques, and also by incorporating local energy generation technologies into architectural elements. For the latter, particular interest has been given to building integrated photovoltaic systems due to the comparatively easy integration of modules with building structures, and recent cost trends that make PV an affordable construction material. Naturally ventilated, PV active double skin facades may contribute to both the thermal performance of a building and its electrical energy demand. In this paper we present experimental results of the “Ressources” project, a study of large scale components developed for new build and renovation projects. Ressources is part of the French National Research Agency programme for Energy and Buildings. To date studies have focused on 3 prototype building envelopes comprising naturally-ventilated double-skin configurations on real buildings: two for single-family homes (at Moret sur Loing – EDF R&D site) and one for an office building (at Toulouse – HBS Technal Site). This paper focuses on the experimental results obtained during one year of monitoring the latter.
