The building is characterized by a low energy demand thanks to the Minergie concept that required a performative envelope as well as efficient services. PV systems, for an amount of about 9 kW power peak, are placed onto the roof (7,6 kWp) and onto facade, as a cladding material between openings. The PV facade system becomes one of the main material of architectural language and of building envelope recognizability.
