Horizon Prize - Low carbon energy inducement prizes 2016 - Photovoltaics meets history H2020-LCE-PRIZES-2016-02 Closed!
Objectives
This inducement prize will reward a European protected historic urban district that has perfectly integrated in its buildings a photovoltaic system to generate and supply electricity for its own consumption. In this context the photovoltaic system includes all the necessary components to supply power within a district.
The prize will induce the integration of new photovoltaic systems in protected historic urban districts. It will also foster the development of the best suitable architectural and aesthetic design in combination with optimal technical solutions delivering the least visible impact and a minimal intrusion to the structure of the buildings. The prize aims as well to mobilise and enhance private and public investment for replication of similar solutions in Europe.
Actions
The prize will be awarded, after closure of the contest, to the entry that in the opinion of the jury demonstrates a solution that best addresses the following cumulative criteria:
- A new Building integrated photovoltaic system (maximum 20 points)
- High quality architectural and aesthetic design with minimal/no-invasive impact on premises (maximum 20 points)
- Reliability, easy maintenance and safety of operation (maximum 20 points)
- Low operation and maintenance costs, energy savings, CO2 emission reduction (maximum 20 points):
- Involvement of public (maximum 10 points)
- Scalability and adaptation to different locations and different types of buildings (maximum 10 points)
