Brief

A student residence in Belluno, Italy, switched to a renewable heating system in 2022, combining photovoltaic-thermal panels with a biomass boiler. In this way, both energy bills and emissions of the residence are significantly cut.

Technology

This renewable heating system features 32 hybrid PVT panels manufactured by Abora Solar and installed by Acaia Lavio. These panels supply the student residence with clean heat and electricity all year round. Additionally, they work in combination with a biomass boiler, showing how clean heating technologies can be fruitfully paired to maximise on-site sustainable energy production. Thanks to this installation, 18,387 kg of CO2 emissions are saved every year.
