Abstract (EN): A novel concept for a building fac, ade is presented. The fac, ade uses solar energy to generate electricity, heating or cooling, by combining photovoltaic solar cells with a solar air collector and thermoelectric (TE) heat pumps, into a compact building envelope solution. The generated electricity may be partially or totally used to provide heating or cooling through the use of TE heat pumps. A compact, reliable and easy to install system is foreseen, with competitive costs compared with alternative building polygeneration systems. This system will significantly boost the performance and advantages of existing solar ventilated fac, ades in buildings, contributing to the implementation of nearly Zero Energy Buildings, as required by the coming European building regulations.
