Aluminium Building Systems
Solar thermal collectors are integrated into an aluminium curtain wall for this project. This is one among the ten other projects to have been nominated for Intersolar Award 2010, which will be awarded at the solar industry exhibition Intersolar Europe that is likely to commence on June 9, 2010, at Munich, Germany.
A prototype of this Norsk Hydro project, measuring 3 x 4.5 m, will be showcased at the Intersolar Europe with the company’s EL aluminium façade that is Wicona branded.
The building systems brands of Norsk Hydro such as Alumafel, Domal, Technal and Wicona provide a broad variety of aluminium-based systems including doors, curtain walls, windows, railing, solar systems, skylight systems and façades.
