The demands on sustainable, energy-efficient buildings are increasing. Through the combination of building envelopes with maximum thermal insulation and the Schüco building-integrated photovoltaic system (BIPV), Schüco International KG is already offering the right solutions today.

The use of BIPV to generate renewable energy on buildings is future-oriented, particularly with regard to the expected implementation of the "EU Buildings Directive" 2010/31/EU concerning the total efficiency of buildings in the EU member states by 2020. Within the context of the German energy-saving regulations, the energy generated in the modules may be subtracted from the calculated power requirements, which results in primary energy requirements that are as low as possible. The use of BIPV modules in the façade is therefore not only a visible sign of environmental protection and sustainability, but also a key component for achieving nearly zero, zero or plus-energy buildings.

Our BIPV experts will be happy to support you in all stages of your project and in all Schüco markets (contact: bipv@schueco.com).
