Solar Air Heating and LEED® SolarWall® air heating system at the LEED® Silver Distance Learning Center at Northern Arizona University LEED® Categories The SolarWall® technology is LEED® qualifying in the following categories: The SolarWall® technology is a wall-mounted solar air heating system that offsets the heating load in commercial, industrial and institutional buildings by heating incoming ventilation air. The technology is also available in a modular rooftop system – SolarDuct® – and can be combined with PV – SolarWall PV/T – to create a hybrid system. Energy & Atmosphere EAC1 – Optimize Energy Performance (1-19 points) EAC2 – On-site Renewable Energy (1-7 points) Indoor Environnemental Quality Ventilation Effectiveness (1 point) Materials and Resources Recycled Content (1-2 points) SolarWall® and SolarWall PV/T technologies are favored by architects on LEED® projects because of their; •• Ease of integration into the building envelope •• Sizable amount of renewable energy production •• Architectural versatility •• LEED® point generation (6+ LEED® points under 2.2, and up to 9+ LEED® points under 3.0) Conserval works extensively with architects & engineers to optimize system design & integration to ensure the success of all projects. SolarWall systems have been used as architectural features on famous and notable projects in 30+ countries around the world, from the Beijing Olympic Village, to the Kristinehamn Museum of Modern Art in Sweden, to the new NREL LEED® Platinum facility in Colorado.

Renewable Heating Heating can typically be one of the largest energy expenditures in the building industry. The ability of a SolarWall® system to address this energy usage and to displace a sizable amount of it – and the resulting greenhouse gas emissions – explains why the technology has such a compelling return on investment. “Our building has blond brick fascia, so the dark brown SolarWall makes a nice contrast. The design of the SolarWall was stylized to have a bit of pizzazz to it with the angle on the side. The building was very institutional looking and we used the SolarWall to give...
