Pilkington Sunplus™ BIPV


Pilkington Sunplus™ BIPV provides renewable power generating architectural glass solutions for building facades, windows, roof glazing, etc. with a high degree of transparency or full spandrel PV elements, combining efficiency and design. BIPV stands for Building Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV) and refers to a building component which has been enhanced to perform as a renewable energy generating material in addition to being an integrated part of the architecture and building façade. Examples include windows, sunshades, spandrel glass and skylights.

Spectrum Calculation Program

Το Pilkington Spectrum είναι ένα on-line δωρεάν πρόγραμμα υπολογισμού που θα σας επιτρέψει να κάνετε σύνθεση μονωτικών υαλοπινάκων διαφόρων εφαρμογών με γυαλιά Pilkington και να υπολογίσετε την ενεργειακή τους απόδοση. Είτε πρόκειται για απλά παράθυρα είτε για  διπλά, τριπλά, τετραπλά με πολυστρωματικούς ή μονούς υαλοπίνακες, το Pilkington Spectrum είναι σε θέση να παρέχει τις ακόλουθες πληροφορίες:

  • Ιδιότητες φωτός και ενέργειας (μετάδοση, ανάκλαση, απορρόφηση, ηλιακό συντελεστή, κ.λ.π.) υπολογισμένα σύμφωνα με τη νόρμα EN 410.
  • Τιμή Ug στο κέντρο του φύλλου υπολογισμένη σύμφωνα με το EN 673 (δυνατότητα επιλογής τιμής Ug με δύο δεκαδικά ψηφία).
