A shining light for sustainable architecture
Grenzebach’s ENVELON system has been awarded Product Design of the Year at the coveted Architecture MasterPrize 2022, held at the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, Spain. The system’s technology is redefining building-integrated photovoltaics focuses on architectural building façades, combining the highest standards in aesthetics and performance as demonstrated by architect Peter Kuczia’s award-winning designs.
ENVELON’s innovative solar façade system brings architectural design and solar energy together in a durable and application-flexible glass façade, transforming conventional buildings into sustainable power plants. These high-performance and cost-effective BIPV systems are available in a wide selection of colours that have been successfully applied on large-scale buildings.
“Thanks to the ENVELON System, the facade material – in addition to its conventional technical, protective and aesthetic functions – adds value to the building by converting sunlight to electricity”, says Mr Kuczia.
ENVELON’s colour technology gives architects and building owners creative freedom to express their unique aesthetic through a broad pallet. An ultra-thin internal glass coating unlocks the potential of colours, producing solar façade panels that shimmer with vibrancy throughout the day and bring buildings to life.
