Municipal Waste Management Department

Transforming Waste into Sky-High Sustainability: Taiyo Europe's TensoSky® ETFE Innovation with Municipal Waste Management

Location: Munich, Germany
Fabric Type: ETFE Film
Market Sector: Environmental
Project Size: 86111 sq.ft.
Architect: Ackermann und Partner Architekten BDA
Engineer: Ackermann Ingenieure, Konstruct AG
Completion Date: November 1, 2011

Aesthetics and sustainability unite in the constructed roof of Munich's municipal waste management department, setting a remarkable standard for functionally and ecologically advanced structures. This cutting-edge design integrates photovoltaic cells, serving sustainability for such a vital municipal facility.

At the heart of this innovation lies a photovoltaic technology by sister company of Birdair, Taiyo Europe, that relies on the utilization of highly flexible, amorphous thin-film solar cells embedded within the TensoSky® ETFE cushions. These advanced thin-film solar cells not only generate clean and renewable energy but also blend harmoniously into the architectural design. Their flexibility allows for a versatile and aesthetic integration, enhancing the roof's visual appeal while contributing to its sustainability.

This environmentally conscious approach not only reduces the building's carbon footprint but also demonstrates a commitment to harnessing renewable energy sources, making a significant contribution to Munich's efforts in environmental conservation. The municipal waste management department's roof exemplifies the synergy between aesthetics and sustainability, setting a benchmark for future ecologically minded architectural endeavors.
