Solhyve – energy-Plus Climate Facade

ongoing product development: solhyve will be a modular climate facade that generates on-site renewable energy (solar, geothermal & nanowind). it comprises energy-efficient ventilation with heat & cold recovery. combined with geothermal collectors in the foundation zone, this facade system: ▪ generates clean electricity (through bipv & nanowind), ▪ produces renewable heat for space heating + hot water, ▪ provides controllable, graded solar shading, ▪ provides both active and passive space cooling. for user comfort, incoming fresh air is spread evenly through the interior, while minimizing duct space. solhyve thus provides a reactive, powerful climatization system that is well-suited for buildings in continental climates with large seasonal variations in the weather circumstances.  in a simplified version, the solhyve system is suited for buildings in more moderate climates.  in an adapted version, the system is also suitable for buildings in a (sub)tropical climate.  user-steered regu
