Circa 20 GW of power generation capacity will be lost by 2025 owing to the closure and decommissioning of power stations.
What Does 20 GW reduction mean?
16 Nuclear power stations
5 coal powered fire stations
4,000 Wind turbines
What Part do Buildings Play ?
According to Vitruvius:
GREAT BUILDINGS MUST HAVE=
FIRMNESS + COMMODITY + DELIGHT
(STURDY) (USEFUL) (BEAUTIFUL)
TODAY THIS SHOULD ALSO INCLUDEBUILDING WITH REFERENCE TO SUNLIGHT
Optimize Solar Orientation
• Increase day light into building
• Minimise exposure that generates solar heat gain
• Positioning of PVs where they will receive maximum solar exposure

§ At the time of construction in 2008 , it was
the largest PV array integrated into a European building
§ 16,000 PV panels in roof,
4 MW capacity,
occupying 26,000 sqm
§ Reduction in CO2 released into the atmosphere
equals 2000 Tons

§ PV’s are increasingly being integrated into buildings along with other renewable technologies
§ The Integration needs to enhance and work with the architecture
§ Location of PV’s only in optimal positions
§ Aesthetic considerations need to be addressed to increase uptake in buildings
§ The PV industry needs to continue to address the whole life cycle of it’s product
