Sustainability at 360 Degrees "The Portals" is an innovative architectural project created to address post-pandemic challenges and to contribute to the fight against climate change, in accordance with the principles of the European Taxonomy for Sustainable Economic Activities (EU 852/2020). The building is characterized by its excellence in terms of flexibility of interior spaces, which can be adapted to the different needs of users, and energy efficiency, ensured by state-of-the-art technological systems for lighting, air conditioning, and facility monitoring.

One of the largest vertical solar fields in Italy The project is also notable for its integration of a photovoltaic system into the curtain wall, making it one of the first and largest vertical solar fields in Italy. Thanks to this system, the building is able to produce 990,000 Kwh of clean energy annually on the towers, covering more than 65 percent of its energy needs. In this way, the building reduces its CO2 emissions and becomes a source of renewable energy for the surrounding area.

GIOIA 20 Curtain Walls Building facades are not only an aesthetic element, but also an essential functional component for the comfort and well-being of occupants. In modern building projects, it is important to strike the right balance between design and energy performance. For this reason, the façade system of "The Portals" alternates opaque and visual modules, creating an effect of movement and contrast that gives personality and dynamism to buildings. These modules are designed to incorporate advanced technological solutions and visually appealing designs into an envelope that defines the buildings' character.

Opaque Module: The Union of Aesthetics and Efficiency The Opaque Module is an outstanding example of how architectural aesthetics can harmonize with energy efficiency. With typical dimensions of 1350mm x 4080mm and a staggered joint, this module combines form and function in a single solution. It consists of an aluminum inner frame that incorporates technological sealing principles, and an outer frame to which the photovoltaic glass is attached by structural silicone. This configuration makes it possible to harness solar energy efficiently and turn the building into a green power plant. For ease of maintenance, the frame has a hidden but accessible attachment system at all times. This means that while the opaque module is aesthetically clean and has no visible fasteners, it is possible to work on it for maintenance without altering the appearance of the building. Another interesting aspect of this module is the staggered height of the outer photovoltaic frame. This design detail gives depth and dynamism to the facade, creating a structure that stands out uniquely in the urban skyline. Modern architectural aesthetics are combined with sustainable energy, demonstrating that beauty and functionality can coexist harmoniously.
