Solar energy that enhance a building’s appearance

A newly developed solar thermal collector meant to be embedded into a building’s facade to enhance its aesthetic value also generates energy for heating and cooling.

Excessive consumption of electrical energy is a major contributor to climate change. Around 40 % of total electrical consumption in the EU is caused by air conditioning systems (heating and cooling) in buildings, which are also the cause of 36 % of CO2 emissions.
