How does it work?
OPALY relies on age-old skills of solar aero thermal (process of picking up air calories with a heat pump) by generating air circulation in the South facade envelop.
- the cold air drawn at the bottom of the South facade envelop is sucked in by natural or forced convection.
- the air runs along solar captors communicating to each other.
- the air is then reheated, collected and incorporated into the circuit of ventilation/diffusion of the building.
