Technical FAQs 4

What is a photovoltaic curtain wall?

They enhance thermal comfort and help prevent the greenhouse effect. A standard curtain wall offers no return on investment. In contrast, a photovoltaic curtain wall not only insulates the building but also generates power for over 30 years. This reduces monthly electricity bills and ultimately pays for itself over time.

Do curtain walls reflect the thermal comfort of an office building?

In this study, a field experiment was therefore performed in an actual office building with a transparent envelope consisting of curtain walls instead of a laboratory (chamber) to reliably reflect the actual indoor thermal environment of an office and inform an analysis of the thermal comfort of its occupants.

Who uses curtain walls?

Office buildings constitute the predominant customer segment for curtain walls, accounting for over 55% of their European market share . Curtain wall technology is also being increasingly adopted in many public buildings, and even for high-end residential projects.

Do curtain walls reduce energy consumption?

Despite recent efforts on heat loss mitigation (relying on additional glass panes, coatings or thermal breaks to framing elements) curtain walls remain a significant contributor to the energy consumption of such buildings.
