2 CI ENERGY LAMILUX CI System Glass Architecture CI-Energy Aesthetic glass roofs for an optimised energy balance Why do we say that our CI System Glass Architecture is a multifunctional daylight system? Because it plays a valuable role as an effective energy manager on roofs thanks to a wide range of equipment and fittings. Saving energy: Interiors are lit naturally by generous daylight intake through optimum quality glazing, thus reducing the energy required for artificial lighting. Conserving energy: Our innovative components enable us to optimise isothermal characteristics on a continual basis only highly effective heat insulation will ensure no energy escapes from buildings. Controlling energy: Networked with intelligent automation systems, daylight systems make a large contribution to optimising energy balance. Daylight uses its solar effect to carry heat energy into buildings. An adjustable building climate is created by controlling shade mechanisms in harmony with integrated flap systems which provide natural ventilation. As a result, the energy used in equipment to condition indoor climates is substantially reduced. Generating energy: CI System Glass Architecture KWS 60 provides an ideal platform for generating real energy. We integrate solar and photovoltaic systems in the form of attached or glazing-integrated components into supporting structures to generate energy.

8 1 CI ENERGY Light and shade glazing for LAMILUX CI System Glass Arch CI Energy Using daylight saves energy Choosing the right glazing for a building's use is the most important factor in determining the amount of daylight which enters a building interior to ensure pleasant, natural lighting and thus save on energy for electrical lighting systems. Our comprehensive range of glazing provides a balance between the following aspects as required: Daylight intake transparency, light direction and light diffusion Solar protection and heat protection Heat insulation Noise insulation Self-cleaning Safety - fall protection system and anti-burglary protection Solar protection with deciduous tree effect Solar protection with matt, light-coloured fi lm Solar protection with light-guiding glass Solar protection with glass featuring screen print Solar protection with slats 1 CI Energy - Conserving energy: All glazing types are optionally fi tted with so-called "warm edges". Spacers between the panes of glass are made of materials which feature low heat conductivity. Permanently improved with regard to thermal characteristics, our glazing systems guarantee a reduction in the energy required for heating thanks to their exceptional heat insulation. 8

9 2 Building: toom-markt hypermarket, Heppenheim, Hesse CI ENERGY itecture CI-Energy Controlling light intake and solar heat input Daylight intake and solar heat input create great potential for channelling energy into buildings and making savings on costs for heating and artifi cial light. This should not be achieved in an uncontrolled way, but regulated and guided by permanent or controllable shade systems. Controllable solar protection with exterior blind Controllable solar protection with interior blind Controllable solar protection with glassintegrated blind Solar protection with smart glass CI Energy - Controlling energy: Building automation systems for light direction and shade systems ensure that energy input is controlled intelligently. All processes are synchronised and coordinated by a self-developed control system based on SPC technology. The key switching devices in the system are time control units, solar and light intensity sensors and temperature sensors. 2 9 Glass Architecture

12 1 2 CI ENERGY The Glass architecture fl ap systems Natural ventilation optimises indoor climates CI-Energy Controllable flap systems save energy CI System Ventilation Flap M: Regulating integrated fl ap systems in glass roof and façade constructions to provide natural ventilation plays a considerable role in optimising building air conditioning systems and reduces the amount of energy used for cooling in air conditioning units. Around 30 percent of energy used to heat and cool buildings can be saved as a result of effi ciency optimisation functions in room automation systems. Window fl aps for natural ventilation CI System Ventilation Flap M in its ventilation position 1 CI-System - DSD Dynamic Layer Seal Seal: two independent seal layers, which are staggered both vertically and horizontally, provide an exceptional seal against driving rain (Class E 1200 EN 12208) and offer low air permeability (Class 4 EN 12207). The Dynamic Layer Seal (DSD) protects against splash water and ensures an effective vapour barrier. 2 CI-Energy - TAD Thermo Active Design Saves energy: a patented structural ribbing uses the heat energy of the room air below the glazing base in fl ap system M. Consequently, the surface temperature is increased on the aluminium frame, resulting in fl awless isothermal performance (Uf 1.5 W/[m²K] as per EN 10077) and minimised condensation. 12

18 1 Northern Lights shed roof constructions: multi-functionality... LAMILUX Northern Lights shed roof constructions are an expression of multi-functional versatility and efficient energy management. This daylight system can both save and generate energy. LAMILUX Northern Lights shed roof constructions combine classic features of natural indoor lighting while also meeting modern requirements for energy-optimised building envelopes. Only the north-facing side is glazed. The south side of the daylight structure faces the sun and usually features opaque fi lling materials. As a result, direct sunlight and glare are minimised inside the building. The north side multi-functional versatility Light: Insulation glazing (Ug value 1.1 to 0.6) with laminated safety glass Glazing which channels or diffuses light Solar protection glass Glazing with integrated solar protection blinds Noise insulation glass Air: Integration of CI System Ventilation Flap M: system certifi ed (CE conformity) according to DIN EN (waterproof against driving rain, permeability to air, resistance to wind load, noise insulation, heat protection, total energy transmission, light transmission) Integration of CI System Combination Flap M: combines ventilation and SHEV function.

22 CI ENERGY Building: Shopping mall in Eberswalde, near Berlin Building: Donautherme Wonnemar, a waterpark in Ingolstadt, Bavaria CI-Energy - Saving Energy CI-Energy - Conserving Energy Daylight systems serve as intelligent "energy managers" in a variety of ways. Extensive use of daylight intake ensures a considerable reduction in electric lighting costs, since buildings use the most natural source of light, sunlight. As daylight systems embedded in roofs become more extensive, effective heat insulation becomes increasingly essential. The byword here is daylight with highest energy efficiency. Enough sunlight is produced between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. on 85 percent of days in a year to provide light that can be channelled inside buildings and produce perfectly adequate lighting. Daylight structures are the best systems for such purposes, as they guide light into the room from above and take full advantage of the position of the sun. As a result, interiors are brightly lit by using daylight in a particularly harmonious and uniform way. Key aspects in energy effi ciency are technical development and material related factors with regard to both support structures and the type of glazing used (for instance, thermal insulation glazing with coeffi cients of up to 0.6 W/(m²K)). It is important to optimise isothermal processes to such an extent that thermal bridges are eliminated. Numerous calculation methods show that energy costs for electric lighting can be greatly reduced if natural light is used. Daylight saves energy Example: according to DIN 5034, a hall which covers an area of 800 square metres and is 8 metres high features 101 square metres of overhead roofl ight space (12.6 percent of its total roof surface). Without LAMILUX daylight systems, energy costs total 6,000 euros per year; if such systems are used, costs can be brought down to 1,800 euros a year. (Source: FVLR German Daylight and Smoke Protection Trade Association ) Innovative components conserve energy A LAMILUX component called "IsoThermal load converter ITL" ensures optimised isothermal processes. It systematically transmits the bearing load from the daylight system and into the supporting structure. This means the base profi le is free of loads and stresses, thus enabling materials with excellent heat insulation properties to be used. Another LAMILUX component, "Thermo Active Design TAD", uses structural ribbing to take advantage of heat energy in room air. Consequently, the surface temperature is increased on the aluminium frame. As a result, a change in the dew point ensures the risk of condensation is reduced. 22

23 Building: Schloss-Arkaden shopping mall in Brunswick Building: IBC Solar, Bad Staffelstein, Bavaria CI ENERGY CI-Energy - Controlling Energy CI-Energy - Generating Energy Intelligently designed control technology coordinates and harmonizes components in systems which control light direction, shade, natural ventilation and air conditioning optimization, enabling building automation systems to increase energy efficiency. Embedded solar modules and photovoltaic installations ensure that daylight systems can even actually produce energy. As result of the solar effect daylight directs heat energy into the building and can be controlled and regulated by shade systems. Using energy this way saves on heating costs. Building automation systems can achieve further substantial savings: controlling natural ventilation helps to optimise air conditioning systems substantially while also reducing the amount of energy used for cooling in air conditioning units. Daylight systems featuring a shed roof construction provide an excellent opportunity for such systems to actually produce energy by simply integrating solar and photovoltaic systems. The south-facing side of the daylight system provides an ideal platform for attaching solar collectors for solar thermal systems or solar modules for photovoltaic systems. Photovoltaic glazing can also be intergrated into mullion-and-transom structure as a sliding component and features a semi-transparent appearance. Energy can be controlled Up to 60 percent of energy used for lighting and 30 percent used for heating and cooling can be saved simply by using effi ciency-optimising functions in building automation systems. As a system integrator, LAMILUX uses SPC systems to automate SHEV systems and climate optimisation, and networks all functions, so they connect to the main building management system. Signal-emitting sensors or information transmitters and switching devices for ventilation and shade systems include: time control units, solar and light intensity sensors, temperature sensors and air quality monitors. Daylight systems as a source of energy Example: LAMILUX designed a glass roof for IBC Solar in which photovoltaic systems are incorporated into glazing in the mullionand-transom structure. The roof pitch is optimally positioned to face the sun. 23 Glass Architecture
