ENERGYBASE: BUILDING INTEGRATION OF PHOTOVOLTAICS

Solar Buildings like the ‘ENERGYbase’ are becoming the new standard with Europe’s ‘Energy Performance

of Buildings Directive’ Directive (EPBD) 2010/31/EUNov. 2016: EU-Commission proposed updated EPBD and other ‚Green‘ EU-Directives in the ‚Clean Energy For All Europeans’ legal package about renewable energy targets, smart buildings, e-mobility, energy efficient products

AIT – ENERGY CONCEPT BASED ON SOLAR & RENEWABLE POWER

Energy System:

• Photovoltaic system

• 70% direct self consumption

• up to 1048 kWh/kWp

• Solar thermal collectors

• Solar cooling by sorption chilling process

• Heat pumps coupled with ground water

Energy Balance 2011:

• Pholtovoltaic electricity generation 47,171 kWh / a

• Electricity consumption from grid 104,136 kWh / a

• Sum annual electricity consumption for: heating, cooling and ventilation 151,307 kWh / a

Total energy consumption -80% compared to standard building: 20 kWh/m2a = 151 MWh / 7500 m2 area

AIT - INFINITY RESEARCH PROJECT: CLIMATE ADAPTATION OF PV

Solar Modules need to be adapted to different climate zones and their specific challenges: snow, heat, humidity, coldness

• AIT and INFINITY Partners develop new standards for reliability testing according to the climate conditions

• Todays testing = in accordance to STC = Standard Test Conditions = 25°C – in hot climates: Solar modules might become much hotter! -> relevance to efficiency and compound

• Mapping of typical defaults under different climate zones
