BIPV photovoltaic ventilated façade: design and integrated energy

BIPV photovoltaic ventilated façade: design and integrated energy
Architectural solutions that integrate energy efficiency and design are on the rise, and BIPV photovoltaic ventilated facades are a clear example. This type of installation allows the building envelope to become an active source of energy generation, while improving insulation and aesthetics. Below, we explain how it works and why it’s setting a trend.

1. What is a BIPV photovoltaic ventilated façade?

The BIPV photovoltaic ventilated façade combines two important functions as a structural element of a building.

On the one hand, the ventilated façade performs the function of a traditional façade, protecting the building’s walls from moisture penetration, frost, wind, and other adverse external factors.

On the other hand, the presence of elements that allow the production of electrical energy from the sun makes the façade a perfect area for its integration. These elements also improve the building’s insulation and generate thermal savings.

2. Energy and insulation benefits

BIPV technology also allows for the creation of a new aesthetic in a building through its façade, using colors or patterns that can be associated with the building’s character or brand while also generating energy. This allows the façade to not only fulfill a functional function but also convey the visual identity of the project or company.
Furthermore, this integration of photovoltaic elements into the architectural design makes renewable energy production a visible and attractive part of the building, helping to normalize and popularize energy self-consumption in the urban environment.

3. A new aesthetic for buildings

BIPV technology also allows for the creation of a new aesthetic in a building’s façade, using colors or patterns that can be associated with the building’s character or brand while also generating energy.

This type of project is setting a trend in much of Europe thanks to the rise of self-consumption and energy storage systems, further supported by high electricity prices.

Can any building install a BIPV photovoltaic ventilated façade?

Installation depends on the technical and architectural factors specific to each building, but many new or renovated buildings can be adapted to integrate this system.

Does the photovoltaic façade affect the aesthetics of the building?

On the contrary, it allows you to customize the design with colors and patterns that can be integrated with your corporate image or architectural style, creating modern and attractive facades.

Can the energy generated by these facades be stored?

Yes, the generated energy can be integrated with storage systems to maximize self-consumption and reduce grid energy use.
