EuropeOn - The European Electrical Contractors Association

🌞 Is it possible to integrate photovoltaics #PV in protected sites to make them more energy efficient? SolarPower Europe kicked off an exciting online workshop series, “Bridging Heritage and Innovation: Exploring Photovoltaic Integration in Protected Spaces”. Alongside other two Increase partners EuropeOn - The European Electrical Contractors Association and European Builders Confederation EBC, they presented the #IncreaseIPV project to representatives from the culture and #heritage sector, at regional, national and European level 🚀 Participants explored how Integrated Photovoltaics (#IPV) can support protected sites, tackling key questions: How can we install photovoltaics while respecting #aesthetic and structural constraints? What kind of impact analysis should be applied before installing PV in protected areas? What is the role of new PV technologies like anti-glare coatings in helping heritage sites cut #energy costs? 🙏 Thanks to all the participants of the roundtable for their valuable insights Vera Winthagen Thomas Deruyver Dries Vanbelleghem Jeroen Westerman Réka Viragos Emmanuelle Ledure Farida Musayeva Oscar Rodolfo Ortega Alvarado Nicholas Clarke Claire Morin Thomas Garabetian Giorgia Signoretto Spyros Mathioudakis Julie Beaufils Claudia Vera Grossocordone #Sustainability #Innovation #SolarEnergy #IncreaseIPV #EUproject #BIPV #heritage #NewEuropeanBauhaus

🏢 To accelerate the shift towards direct and #smartelectrification for end-users, we need to electrify Europe's buildings now! We urge the European Commission to: ✅ Set clear targets for deploying #heatpumps to drive #decarbonisation across new and old buildings. ✅ Recommend that Member States introduce measures to address the electrical installation of buildings as part of their National Energy and Climate Plans (#NECPs). In its first 1️⃣ 0️⃣ 0️⃣ days, the new European Commission must publish the announced Electrification Action Plan, addressing these key points so that we can reach #netzero emissions by 2050.

☀ Innovation meets heritage in the heart of Europe! SolarPower Europe and EuropeOn - The European Electrical Contractors Association visited the ABATTOIR NV-SA of Anderlecht, the largest #BIPV installation in Europe.   👉 The Abattoir of Anderlecht, in Brussels, was built in 1888 as a slaughterhouse. Nowadays it is a covered market and one of Brussels’ listed monuments. In 2021 Skysun renovated its roof and covered it in #solarpanels, making it more #energyefficient. This project represents the core values of the #NewEuropeanBauhaus: sustainability, aesthetics, and inclusion.   🚀This case study serves as inspiration for projects like Increase, showing how #IPV technology allows to incorporate #sustainable and #beautiful solutions into the city. 🔗Discover more here: https://lnkd.in/dm9ez3GX   #Sustainability #Innovation #GreenEnergy #SolarEnergy #IncreaseIPV #EUproject #BIPV
