Technical FAQs 4

What is a photovoltaic curtain wall?

They enhance thermal comfort and help prevent the greenhouse effect. A standard curtain wall offers no return on investment. In contrast, a photovoltaic curtain wall not only insulates the building but also generates power for over 30 years. This reduces monthly electricity bills and ultimately pays for itself over time.

Does Photovoltaic Glass fit in a curtain wall?

No, the BIPV photovoltaic glass structurally does not differ from other types of conventional glazing. Therefore, it is integrated into the building envelope (curtain wall, façade, or skylight) like any construction material. What solar control and comfort advantages does photovoltaic glass offer in a curtain wall?

Do curtain walls reduce energy consumption?

Despite recent efforts on heat loss mitigation (relying on additional glass panes, coatings or thermal breaks to framing elements) curtain walls remain a significant contributor to the energy consumption of such buildings.

What is a curtain wall?

Curtain walling refers to a non-structural cladding system made from fabricated aluminum, commonly used on the outer walls of tall multi-storey buildings. This lightweight material offers ease of installation and can be customized to be glazed, opaque, or equipped with infill panels.
