ClearVue demonstrated how its integrated solar facade can be a significant contributing factor toward the net zero building
SAN JOSE, Oct. 30, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Smart building products company, ClearVue Technologies Limited (ClearVue), was voted the most innovative solution of Greenbuild 2024 during the People’s Choice Innovation Webinar. ClearVue North American CEO, Chuck Mowrey, shared how the company addresses the 40% of energy use that is consumed by the world’s buildings with its innovative clear solar vision glass, spandrel, cladding, railing and skylights with an eye toward supporting net zero buildings.
“According to the U.S. Department of Energy’s Better Buildings initiative, envelope technologies account for approximately 30% of the primary energy consumed by buildings. ClearVue is turning energy consuming buildings into sustainably operating buildings that can offset a substantial portion of the operating energy requirements with clean, renewable energy. Rooftop solar has been available for many decades, yet it competes for space on commercial building rooftops with HVAC systems, plumbing, and electrical systems. We see extending solar energy generation to the facade as a means of exponentially increasing the surface area available for solar while decreasing the operational carbon footprint of the building envelope,” says Chuck Mowrey, President and CEO, ClearVue North America.
ClearVue’s Building Integrated Photovoltaic (BIPV) facade solutions include vision glass that boasts over 230 patents and generates energy while maintaining transparency. When coupled with ClearVue’s solar spandrel, cladding, railing and skylight products, the facade becomes a considerable contributing factor to net zero buildings. Plus, installations of ClearVue solutions can often qualify for 30% or more in federal Investment Tax Credits (ITC) and other state and local incentives. Innovative solar solutions like ClearVue’s can even help avoid costly penalties some regions are instituting to spur on the move toward more environmentally friendly buildings. In independent studies of 40-story and 6-story archetype buildings in 15 international cities around the world, researchers concluded that, depending on the window-to-wall ratio (WWR) and geographical location, the ClearVue solar facade could potentially offset 60% to over 100% of a building’s energy requirements. This is groundbreaking and an exciting leap toward net zero.
The Greenbuild webinar showcased product innovations that drive sustainability in buildings and across the construction industry. This first-of-its-kind event featured four leading manufacturers vying for the title of Best of Greenbuild 2024. The live audience had the opportunity to vote for their favorite solution.
The company will display its full line of solar facade solutions during the upcoming Greenbuild International Conference and Expo, presented in partnership with the U.S. Green Building Council, November 12-15, in booth #301 at the Pennsylvania Convention Center in Philadelphia. Mowrey, Sweeney, and several other ClearVue leaders will be on hand throughout the event to share ClearVue’s solar technologies.
