The Optoelectronic Demonstration Building of China Academy of Construction and Research is a comprehensive experimental platform for building environment and energy systems that integrates scientific research, exhibition, experience, and other functions, based on the research achievements of China Academy of Construction and Research in building energy conservation and renewable energy utilization over the years. It is an innovative practice for buildings to move from energy consumption to production capacity.
The photovoltaic demonstration building is equipped with a photovoltaic system of 1500 square meters, an installed capacity of 235 kilowatts, an average daily power generation of 550 kWh, and an annual power generation of 200000 kWh. The project adopts ASP opaque cadmium telluride photovoltaic power generation glass building materials on the roof, facade, and newly built foyer, fully utilizing the advantages of cadmium telluride photovoltaic building materials in strong power generation capacity and uniform color on the building facade.
The glass curtain wall of the second floor exhibition hall uses transparent cadmium telluride power generation glass to replace traditional glass, ensuring the same lighting effect as traditional glass, as well as good power generation capacity and thermal insulation effect.
This photovoltaic demonstration building is not only a zero energy building, but also a production capacity building. It is expected that the annual power generation per unit building area will be 67kWh per square meter, and the net energy production after meeting the building's own energy consumption can reach 20%. These net power generation capacities can supply power to surrounding buildings, achieving overall net zero carbon emissions and carbon emissions.
