Canadian Developed SolarWall (r) Technology Shortlisted for Major Award!
A Canadian project using the Canadian developed SolarWall (r) technology has been shortlisted for Renewable Energy World magazine's
Excellence in Renewable Energy Awards . As the Hollywood types say "it's an honour just being nominated" and that is especially tru when you consider the 4 other projects in the category "Building Integrated Renewable".
Here is the SolarWall project profile as it appears on the website:
John Molson School of Business at Concordia University Featuring 25-kW PV & 75-kW Thermal SolarWall PV/Thermal Hybrid System
The SolarWall PV/Thermal (PV/T) system on the John Molson School of Business
(JMSB) at Concordia University is the largest building integrated PV/Thermal
(BIPVT) system in the world.
This project represents a great technological
advance and provides keen insight into future building industry trends
of on-site renewable energy production. The hybrid system combines the
traditional SolarWall technology, which is a solar thermal air heating system
that preheats incoming ventilation air, with a photovoltaic (PV) component, which converts solar
rays into electricity. It creates a duel energy system that building integrated, has as a combined system efficiency of up to 60%, and is architecturally attractive. The SolarWall PV/T system at the John Molson School of Business is a 100kW system, with 25 kW of PV and 75 kW of thermal heating. It is also a LEED registered building. The size of the system is approximately 3,000 ft2 and was seamlessly integrated into the facade of this high profile project in downtown Montreal.
