With the aim of creating a public space of similar quality as that provided by natural trees, 3 "urban trees" (called “Climatic”, “Ludic” and “Media” trees) have been installed that combine bioclimatic design principles, metallic structures, vegetation and Photovoltaic modules architecturally integrated. The trees are energy self-sufficient, which means that their annual electricity consumption is compensated by the PV electricity produced. | | Keywords | (PV) non-building-structures |
