The deltaZERO building has been conceived and designed ensuring that the energy needed for the comfort of the occupiers is covered in a self-sufficient way. The building , characterized by a completelly glazed envelope and by efficient plants, uses solar energy thanks to the presence of photovoltaic modules and high-performance solar thermal panels both onto the roof and inside the south glasswindows. The system has been designed so that the yearly consumption for heating and cooling does not exceed the energy produced . The limited energy consumption (merely 20 KWh/m2 yearly) is completely covered from solar energy.
