The highly integrated Schüco E² façade intelligently combines the building services with the building envelope using the modules for decentralised ventilation technology, high performance solar shading and solar energy generation. All service modules are concealed in front of the intermediate floor within the single-skin façade construction.
In addition to integration in the Schüco SFC 85 façade with fixed lights and opening units appearing identical from both inside and outside, the integrated façade concept is also possible with other Schüco façades.
Tested modular system 4 function modules: opening units, decentralised ventilation, solar shading and solar technology Reliability in design and planning due to comprehensive testing at independent test institutes Integrated interfaces allow efficient planning and design Schüco Façade SFC 85 with concealed opening units With a face width of 85 mm, the thermally broken Schüco Façade SFC 85 integrates the opening units flush into the load-bearing structure.
Features and benefits Projected top-hung and parallel-opening windows for large ventilation cross-sections Profile face widths of the projected top-hung window are identical to the fixed lights from inside and outside Leaf weight up to 250 kg Opening units operated by concealed electric motors Guide for Schüco CTB within the glazing bead profiles Schüco CTB high-performance solar shading The externally mounted Schüco Solar shading CTB (Concealed Toughened Blind) consisting of anodised micro louvre blades is flush-fitted in the façade. Special glazing beads guide to the blinds.
Features and benefits Solar shading for tall buildings for wind speeds of up to 30 m/s (gale force storm) Concealed integration in the installation space in front of the intermediate floor Complete shading from when the sun is at an angle of 20° The shape of the blades ensures optimum transparency with maximum penetration of natural light Decentralised ventilation technology Different ventilation concepts are possible using the modular device design of Schüco IFV fans. Depending on individual requirements, the incoming air can be heated or cooled on a room-by-room basis, with or without heat recovery from the outgoing air. The individually adjustable system technology offers maximum comfort. The integration of the Schüco IFV fans in the installation space in front of the intermediate floor also allows design freedom for façades and interiors. At the same time, the investment and operating costs for the building are reduced - the duct system for building ventilation is not required, the storey heights are lowered, service areas are reduced and energy savings are made for heating and cooling.
Decentralised ventilation using floor and ceiling devices Incoming air, cooled or heated, is drawn into the room by displacement ventilation using floor devices Ceiling devices remove the outgoing air Optional: use additional secondary ventilation devices with heating or cooling function Windows that open can complete the system
Decentralised ventilation using ceiling devices Incoming air, cooled or heated, is drawn into the room using ceiling devices Using slit-shaped outlets to draw in incoming air allows directed air flow Outward ventilation using the same ceiling devices with integrated heat exchanger for heat recovery Façade-integrated photovoltaics Façade-integrated photovoltaics and the resultant solar energy generation have a positive influence on the energy balance of a building. The photovoltaic modules, which can be inserted at full storey height and designed individually in terms of shape, colour and structure, can be translucent or transparent, e. g. in the visible part of the nonventilated façade.
Transparent photovoltaics with thin-film technology Semi-transparent PV modules specially designed for use in the visible area of the façade Individual module layout with a regular pattern which can vary in design determines the view through to the outside Homogeneous surface finish due to amorphous thin-film cells Ideal for use on vertical façades, considerable outputs are produced even in diffuse daylight Not sensitive to high temperatures, partial shading and unfavourable angles
Translucent photovoltaics with crystalline cells Translucent PV modules provide a perfect solution for every opaque façade Daylight can reach the interior without anyone being able to see into the building Flat modules absorb the incoming light using the entire height of the façade unit Maximum level of efficiency due to monocrystalline cells with homogeneous surface finish or polycrystalline cells with dynamically iridescent structure
