Energy efficient buildings
Sapa Building Systems develop sustainable solutions tailored to customer needs, and advise its customers on environmentally friendly, energy-efficient design
Sapa Solar BIPV is Sapa's system for exploiting solar energy. The system is built up of solar cells which are incorporated into double or triple glazing units, alternatively into filling panels as opaque single panes. A wide range of shapes, colours and optical structures in the solar cells can be combined with glass and extrusions to create energy-efficient, innovative and environmentally friendly building solutions.
An example from 2010 is the new train station in Utrecht, the Netherlands, where Sapa Building System is designing and manufacturing an innovative roof and facade structure based on the use of glass and semi-transparent modules with integrated solar panels.
Other examples of buildings with energy-friendly solutions provided by Sapa in 2010 are:
