Ticon Eiendom – Drammen (under construction)

Chromogenics SE was commissioned to deliver its ConverLight™ dynamic glass for this renovation project. The 1960s building, owned by real estate company Ticon Eiendom, had a high energy consumption. To make the building energy-neutral, various measures needed to be taken, including the installation of 4-layer insulating glass (quadrupel glazing) with the innovative ConverLight™ principle, which makes it possible to actively control the heat and light transmission. This not only results in energy savings, but also in a decrease of maintenance costs and an increase in comfort. In order to make the façade not only energy-saving, but also energy-generating, Chromogenics searched for a supplier that could provide PV panels in virtually the same color and size as the current façade panels and found us, Kameleon Solar, in the Netherlands. Together we searched for the best solution in both technology and time.
ColorBlast® active panels are used as colored PV spandrels in the east, south and west façades. The northern façade was fitted with passive elements, in total approx. 74 square meters (dummies). This results in an optimization between costs and revenue, without compromising on aesthetics. The façade elements were pre-assembled in aluminum frames by FacadeConsult, after which they were mounted per façade (east, west, south, north). Currently, the project is in its final stages of assembly and cleaning, with a planned completion around March/April 2020.
