The "solar" cashpoint

The "solar" cashpoint


The first "solar" cashpoint  is installed in Scarlino in Tuscany, and it is an example of "active architecture", because it is designed to create an optimal internal microclimate for the operation of electronic devices of self-banking, without the use of air-conditioning system that dissipates energy. In fact, it has the shape of a cube with a ventilated facade and a coating porcelain tiles, which thanks to the photo catalytic action of titanium dioxide in them, contribute to the abatement of pollutants in the atmosphere. Simultaneously, a sloping roof fitted with photovoltaic panels and a second brise-soleil wall, which defines the cube, are used to shade and to protect the station from the weather, in addition to generating the energy required for operation of electronic equipment and lighting. The result is that the "solar" cashpoint, in one year,  produces more energy than it consumes and its environmental contribution is comparable to that of an average trunk tree.
