InCUBE Site Zaragoza

InCUBE will fully renovate a 3,200m2 privately owned residential building located in the Balsas de Ebro Viejo District. The building was built in 1971 and accommodates a total of 80 inhabitants. The energy needs of the building will be reduced by 88,5% and the renewable energy production will be increased to 173MWh per year.  Specific problems identified include poor insulation, and thermal leaks in the building’ envelope. Renovation interventions are expected to improve building energy efficiency and accessibility, especially for elderly residents.

INTERVENTIONS:
InCUBE will strengthen and extend these existing initiatives through several innovative interventions at a building and neighbourhood level:

• Decreasing building energy consumption by using high performance windows and frames, insultation material for façades and roof.
• Increasing building energy production using (Building-Integrated) Photovoltaics and Hybrid Thermal Solar Panels.
• Maximizing self-consumption by using a monitored storage systems to provide Domestic Hot Water (DHW)
• Increasing building rehabilitation, scanning and monitoring using digital process solutions.
• Creating a Renewable Energy Community at neighbourhood level by deploying two solar installations of 50 kWp each aiming that more than 200 dwellings will join.
