Located at the centre of the engineering faculty campus at the University of Freiburg, the Freiburg Innovation Centre (FRIZ) is bringing business, teaching and research even closer together. Sustainability was and is a priority, both during the construction phase and in terms of management of the FRIZ. The building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) used are a concrete example of this.

The new building is a state-of-the-art, flexible office and laboratory building with a gross floor area of more than 12,000 m². Along with Cradle to Cradle-certified windows and façade systems, BIPV provides a significant sustainability aspect. BIPV is not only an outwardly visible sign of environmental protection and sustainability, but is also a key component for creating ultra low energy, zero energy and energy plus buildings. The BIPV modules combine perfectly with the Schüco façade and take on many of the functions of other building materials and elements such as weather resistance, thermal insulation, sun shading, screening, sound reduction, fire protection and burglar resistance, all while improving the energy balance of the building by generating energy.
