Prefabricated, lightweight, energy-active wall panel for zero-emission buildings - PRE-ActiVer

Project summary

Rationale / Needs to be addressed
The PRE-ActiVer address the goal of the European construction market: to reduce CO2 emissions and energy demand through zero-carbon buildings, facing the need for advancement in the field of BIPV, engaging with circularity and environmental dimensions.
Objectives
To develop, construct and investigate the lightweight wall panel equipped with interconnected PV panels and a heat dissipation system. The ActiVer will be prefabricated, easy to assemble and maintain, with replaceable PV elements.
Potential applications
The potential application of developed façade systems will be unlimited within the building industry, including the newly designed and existing buildings.
Impact and potential benefits
The PRE-ActiVer project is within the line of the growing need for prefabrication in the construction industry, reusing of building materials, on-site waste reduction and enhancement of building energy performance. Expected energy potential: 80-180 kWh/(m2⋅a).
