Solar air heating that works with the building envelope, supporting lower heating demand and ambitious green building design.
Explore green building projectsSolarWall systems can be incorporated into façade and roof designs, with different profiles, shapes and colours. The collector can sit alongside conventional cladding to create a coherent building elevation while producing renewable heat on site.
Explore architectural versatility
A façade can define the architecture and form part of the heating system. SolarWall uses solar radiation to preheat incoming air before it reaches building ventilation or process systems.
SolarWall technology has been used in buildings that achieved LEED certification and Zero Carbon recognition. Certifications apply to each building as a whole, not to an individual product.

LEED credits are awarded through assessment of the full building. By supplying renewable thermal energy and supporting appropriate ventilation strategies, a SolarWall system may contribute to project performance in relevant LEED categories, depending on the design and applicable rating version.
Project teams should assess eligible credits with their LEED professional and certification body. SolarWall is a building technology, not itself a LEED-certified building.
