BIPV and historical street are the perfect match. Summary of Upbest's 240KW BIPV Project in Shangrao Historical Street: 1. Project Scale: This 240KW BIPV (Building Integrated Photovoltaics) system is a significant installation on Shangrao Historical Street, showcasing Upbest's capability in handling large-scale projects. 2. Technological Integration: The BIPV system combines photovoltaic technology with the historic architecture, maintaining the aesthetic integrity while enhancing energy efficiency. 3. Sustainable Development: The project demonstrates a commitment to reducing carbon emissions and reliance on traditional energy sources, contributing to the area's sustainable development. 4. Cultural Preservation: By integrating modern technology with historical preservation, the project sets a benchmark for future green projects in culturally significant areas, highlighting Upbest's innovative approach.

Join us on July 25th for a Passive House Symposium on Building Electrification! Zero-emission buildings are the priority for a decarbonized built environment, and electrification powered by clean energy, utilizing batteries and heat pumps, is entering the popular psyche. The call is to “electrify everything!” However, what’s often lost is that electrifying typical buildings is impractical, resulting in overwhelmed utilities and skyrocketing costs while burdening us with the same poor-performing buildings. Passive House can transform the possibilities. Electrification leveraged by Passive House performance lowers the burden on the utilities and preserves affordability while dramatically improving resilience and equitable outcomes. Electrification x Passive House is the winning formula, and this symposium explores the guts of it all.

Temperatures are dropping, but your energy efficiency doesn’t have to. This insightful article explores how Building-Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV) can keep your building both green and warm as we move into cooler seasons. With INVITAIC’s advanced bifacial technology, even shorter days and lower sunlight won’t compromise energy output. Read on to discover how innovation is driving sustainability in every season. 🌞🏙️ #BIPV #Sustainability #EnergyEfficiency #GreenBuilding #SolarTech #INVITIAC #Greenenergy

Welcome Carbon Lite Standard! During a seminar organised by The Green Register, Tim Martel, (AECB) Association for Environment Conscious Building Standards & Certification Programme Manager, presented groundbreaking findings on the CarbonLite Retrofit (CLR) standards. My highlight from the seminar is that CLR standards often produce fewer carbon dioxide emissions than the Passivhaus standard, which is traditionally seen as the gold standard in energy efficiency. This underscores the effectiveness of cost-effective, pragmatic measures in reducing carbon emissions. The key moves of for a Carbon Lite approach are very similar to what we advise on our nomoregas website: 1. An electric energy engine is the most important step towards reducing carbon emissions. Pragmatic and effective actions to reach a degree of insulation that allows the installation of a heat pump are the first considerations. 2. Insulation Requirements: For Step 1 retrofits, recommended measures include cavity wall insulation, 300-400mm loft insulation, and at least double-glazed windows. These ensure that the running costs of heat pumps remain manageable. 3. Ventilation: Installing efficient ventilation systems to maintain indoor air quality while minimising energy use. Proper ventilation prevents moisture build-up and ensures a healthy indoor environment. 4. Step-by-Step Approach: The CLR standards allow for a step-by-step approach to retrofitting, where the process can be done in stages. Step 1 is the minimum permissible step, offering a low-carbon interim measure that can be built upon with deeper fabric retrofits in the future. Visualising the Impact: The Carbon Emissions Graph The AECB’s findings were illustrated through a graph showing cumulative CO2e (operational + embodied) emissions over 60 years for a semi-detached house. The graph compared various retrofitting approaches: • 194 tonnes CO2e for a gas boiler. • 99 tonnes CO2e for CarbonLite Full Retrofit without ASHP. • 76 tonnes CO2e for EnerPHit without ASHP. • Significantly lower emissions for CarbonLite Step 1 Retrofit with ASHP, showcasing it as the least carbon-intensive intervention. At Unagru Architecture Urbanism, we are committed to expanding the agency of ecological design and integrating sustainable practices in all our projects. #Sustainability #EcologicalDesign #CarbonLiteRetrofit #GreenArchitecture #UnagruArchitecture #NetZero #RenewableEnergy #AECB #GreenBuilding #RetrofitRevolution

Today's Post is out! Energy Efficient Buildings and the business case for architecture. Buildings significantly contribute to global energy consumption. To tackle climate change and reach net-zero carbon emission goals by 2030 for new buildings and 2050 for existing ones, robust policies promoting energy efficiency, low-carbon materials, and innovative construction practices are essential.

Lots of interesting discussions about the AECB CarbonLite Standards going on here.

🏢 #SustainableArchitecture: Integration of solar energy in buildings. 🌞 The integration of solar energy into building architecture is a growing trend that combines sustainability and design. Incorporating solar panels on facades and roofs helps to create energy-efficient buildings. Features: 🌱 Carbon footprint reduction. 💰 Energy cost savings. 🏬 Aesthetic and functional design. These projects not only generate clean energy, but also promote a more sustainable and green future. #Innovation #FRV #SustainableArchitecture

Facade Game Changer Alert! Imagine leveraging your current facade design appearance, yet it now generates power for your building? Solar is no longer just for rooftops. Can you realize the value of keeping your rooftop as an amenity space and apply solar to your facades instead? Solar is Not dark blue looking any longer. Imagine using different colors and stone appearances for your facade. Mitrex - Building-Integrated Solar Technology has proven that they are the leader and winner in BIPV solutions for buildings.
