The Sustainable Building Envelope Demonstration (SBED) are hosting their final event of the project in conjunction with the launch of the Solcer House on Thursday 16th July 2015.
The SOLCER project demonstrates the building integrated systems based approach to low carbon. The Solcer house launch will present research and partnerships that have developed associated with optimising a whole building as a low carbon system. This systems based approach – combining renewable energy supply, storage and demand reduction technologies - has been applied in the replicable new build ‘Solcer’ house and 5 retrofits of typical welsh housing stock which will be demonstrated at the event.
The SBED project aim was to: model, test, prototype and monitor low carbon building systems incorporating transpired solar collectors (TSC) in six ‘buildings in use’ in Convergence Areas of Wales. The event will share the knowledge and experience learnt from the installation and will demonstrate how the TSCs use solar power to heat air before directing it into the building.
The event is being supported by Specific, BASF, Pilkingtons and Cenin Ltd.
