Solar cooling and more for a large office building

Caixa Geral de Depósitos (CGD) is a Portuguese state-owned banking corporation, and the second largest bank in Portugal.

The project started when the SOLID CEO met CGD’ facility manager at a conference and expressed his desire for a green solution as CGD had high cooling, heating and hot water demand.

Together with Energia de Portugal, charged by CGD, SOLID develop a solution for cooling, space heating and hot water with collectors only in the inside of the building complex. A collector area of 1579 m2 with 11 m3 Storage was installed.

The solar system has a good marketing effect for the bank and boosts its green image.
