The project will demonstrate and test outdoor operational performance of novel solar façade elements which provide daylighting and solar shading; photovoltaic electricity with battery storage; and heat generation with thermal storage.
Sector: BIPV, Sustainable Buildings
Project Status: In progress
Driven by the growing commercial demand for NZEB solutions, the proposed PHIZECCS project builds upon the successful CE-SEA project outcomes to progress CoPVG and HyPVT innovations from TRL6 to TRL7 prototype demonstration in an operational environment.
The solar façade elements will be coupled to heat pumps, heat-recovery ventilation, and energy storage systems to demonstrate how they can be used together to realise thermally comfortable NZEB concepts, tailored for the Northern Irish context, future-proofed against changing climate extremes, and proven to secure near-zero energy bills.
