To generate energy and support sustainability concepts within architecture, more and more buildings are being equipped with photovoltaic elements in the façade.

Tested for a heat resistance to 250 °C. Stamisol Safe One supports a safe design of the rear ventilation of photovoltaic façades or façade claddings, which are exposed to fire and heat radiation.

Energiehaus Luzern is a centre of excellence for renewable energies.

High safety for PV-façades

The listed building was extensively renovated and fitted with PV façades:

• The west façade with the currently largest BIPV system in Switzerland with a two-colour design consisting of 117 graphic modules in four versions.
• The parapet walls as BIPV in a warm grey tone (realized in consultation with the monument preservation authorities).

Stamisol Safe One was selected as the façade membrane, which forms a secure design of the rear ventilation level (behind the BIPV elements) due to its heat resistance up to 250° C.

This ensures reliable sealing of the building envelope even when exposed to high heat, while at the same time maintaining a high degree of breathability.
