PROJECT CONTEXT

Engineering the right source of useful heat.

Real facilities, published project context and equipment integration.

The challenge

An automotive facility needed fresh-air heating while maintaining required indoor air temperature and regulating air mixing.

The solution

A façade-mounted SolarWall system preheats incoming outdoor air before it enters the site’s air-handling and mixing equipment. Dampers and sensors regulate temperatures and air delivery.

Published outcomes

The SolarWall Türkiye project profile describes approximately 500,000 kWh annual natural-gas savings and 86.7 tonnes of annual CO₂ reduction. Values are source-reported for this specific building.

Reporting basis

Source: SolarWall Türkiye automotive project profile. Values are published project-specific figures, not a universal performance estimate.
