Implementation Stories

Multifunctional Roof Edge (MRE) by ANERDGY
Implemented by Anerdgy in Voreppe (France) in 2020

Alpes Isère Habitat commissioned Anerdgy to use its Solution on a building in Voreppe under the umbrella of a H2020 project called Zero plus. The project carried out from 2015 to 2020 had the aim to welcome the first social housing building in France which is zero plus energy. Besides MRE 8-module implementation, the other photovoltaic and technical elements on the inner part of the roof were installed which extended the roof usage in terms of functionality and energy generation.

Result
