A solar multifunctional roof: photovoltaic and thermal coupling

Integration of solar energy systems in architecture is becoming more important in order to achieve energy savings and optimize the introduction of RES in the real estate sector. The role of the public institutions must be seen as a leader for the private customers by demonstrating the effectiveness and feasibility of energy projects with real and exemplary interventions. Under a collaborative project between the Lombardy Region and Politecnico di Milano, a complete solar roof has been installed on the Center of Professional Formation (CFP) of Casargo (Lecco), during the technical and functional refurbishment of the whole building.
