Solar construction products, which include solar roof tiles, façade cladding or windows, can be installed throughout the building envelope and facilitate the seamless deployment of on-site renewables on heritage-listed buildings. This webinar will discuss the potential for solar construction products within Integrated Renovation Programs. The webinar will also explore how industrial policies can enable the scale-up of production of BIPV, with a focus on the “mass customisation” model of industrial production. Agenda: - Introduction of speakers and agenda – Miguel Herrero, Solar Buildings Workstream coordinator (Moderator) - Welcome and introduction – Alexandra Sombsthay, Solar Buildings Chairwoman and Akuo Energy VP Europe - Mass customisation and BIPV in renovation wave – Ronn Andriessen, Solliance Director - Q&A with Alexandra Sombsthay and Ronn Andriessen - Wrap up and conclusion – Alexandra Sombsthay
The Renovation Wave initiative due to be presented in September will be a crucial element of the European Union’s path to recovery following the current health and economic crisis. With impressive cost-reductions and a steep technological learning curve, solar construction products, also known as Building Integrated Photovoltaics (“BIPV”), can bring this potential to the next level.
