General Purpose South Building
The General Purpose South building is fitted-out with a 66.5 kWp solar PV system.
This installation and the re-commissioning of HVAC and hot water systems, have led to a 50% reduction in grid energy consumption.
The 66.5 kWp system of the GP North Building is composed of 266 PV modules occupying a roof area of 432m².
The system is expected to generate about 97,000 kWh per year.
