Research & Development
The INFINITE project aims at shaping how we design and perform renovation of buildings in the future to help decarbonising Europe’s building stock. It promotes the use of industrialised prefabricated sustainable envelope kits. Three real demo cases will be set up in Italy, France and Slovenia (+6 other virtual demo cases all over the EU).
Sunage is developing a more standardised BIPV (Building Integrated Photovoltaic) technology to drive the achievement of energy efficient renovated buildings that can be replicated extensively to shape a decarbonised Europe’s building stock.
This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 958397.
The “BIPV meets History” project, approved as part of Axis I – Business Competitiveness, of the Interreg VA Italy-Switzerland 2014-2020 Cooperation Program, aims to increase cross-border collaboration between companies, research centres and public bodies, to create a cross-border value chain and market with the aim to favour the spread and use of integrated photovoltaic solar technologies in the refurbishment of the existing building and landscape heritage.
Sunage developed the best building integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) solution for buildings to respect the heritage and landscape values of the territory and be in harmony with the external surroundings.
Biosphera is the name of a project conceived by Aktivhaus and focused on the construction of houses capable of bringing maximum well-being to their inhabitants. Biosphera 3.0 has pursued complex objectives by developing an itinerant and energetically autonomous housing unit thanks to the contribution of researchers, professionals, universities and companies by adopting the most advanced and innovative technologies available today. The 20-month roadshow touched 12 European cities and the Biosphera 4.0 is on its way.
Sunage developed both the BIPV facade and the PV roof modules to produce energy for 8,000 KWh/year. To maintain living standards at maximum comfort levels, the itinerant housing unit requires on average only 2,000 KWh/year. Therefore, it is an active building that produces four times the amount of energy needed.
