“…The temperature of the facades has never exceeded the manufacturer's limit of 100 • C. The material allows higher temperatures to be reached. Changes in bending properties occur between 100 • C and 160 • C [5]. Temperatures of 165 • C are usually used to be formed with forces of 100 KN [46].…”

“…Over the last decade, much research has been carried out on new façade solutions and new materials to improve the energy efficiency of the building [4]. Energy production systems using photovoltaic materials [5], microalgae façades such as solar thermal collectors [6] and phase change materials [7] (PCM) [8] are being incorporated into envelopes to improve environmental comfort and reduce consumption [9]. In all of them, the quantification of solar radiation on the façade using virtual models is essential [10].…”

The synthetic material developed by Dupont in 1963 for solid surfaces has been used since its origin for numerous applications. One of the most popular ones in the last decade is as a finishing layer on façades. The first references that contemplated this use on the outside were the Seeko’o hotel in Bordeaux executed in 2007 and the refurbishment of the 7700 m2 shell of the Hôtel Ivoire congress centre in Abidjan (Ivory Coast) in 2009. In Spain, the first example of the installation of this material is the rehabilitation of the main building of the La Rotonda de la Playa de San Juan urbanisation in Alicante, designed in 1965 by the architect Juan Guardiola Gaya and rehabilitated in 2010 by Miguel Salvador Landmann. Ten years later, our research is focused on the study of the colour ageing of the acrylic resin and natural mineral sheets on each of its façades, with different orientations and exposure to sea and wind. To this end, it has been studied the solar radiation of the surfaces, the wind exposure of their façades and tests with a tele-spectroradiometer has been carried out. The study makes it possible to quantify the differences in colour in all of them and to state that the combination of wind and radiation is the main atmospheric agent causing the degradation.

“…For photovoltaic systems, the emission factor is the GHG emission rate of per unit electrical energy generated by the photovoltaic system [49]; the CO 2 -equivalent emission factors reported in the literature vary from 14 to 73 g/kWh [50]. The GHG emission factor 40 g/kWh has been used in applications of photovoltaic systems with batteries [51].…”

In recent years, the production of renewable energy has increased continuously to reduce fossil fuel consumption and CO2 emissions and to increase energy efficiency. The challenge of industries is to integrate renewable energy systems into the existing power system of manufacturing industries. In the energy flexibility approach, the manufacturing energy demand is aligned with renewable energy availability, to improve the use of the renewable energy source. This paper aims to investigate a manufacturing system supplied by a photovoltaic plant coupled with a battery storage system. A basic storage model has been developed and implemented to pursue this issue. The model is applied in the simplified case of a manufacturing system composed of a cutting numerical control machine, which can adapt the cutting speed to align the power needed to the power supplied by the photovoltaic plant. However, the model can be extended to realistic production cases characterized by complex systems as long as the time evolution of energy consumptions are known in detail. The introduction of battery storage allows reducing the cutting speed fluctuations, improving the cutting life derived from the fatigue effect. This solution reduces the costs of the machine and improves the forecasting of the means needed for the manufacturing system. Finally, a detailed analysis of greenhouse gas reduction is discussed.
