The transparent facade (resp. skylights) as most important part of the building envelope determines the energy consumption as well as the visual and thermal comfort within the building.
In our projects requirements such as glare control, sun shading, guiding natural light into the depth of the interior while assuring a pleasant ambience are at the centre of our attention. During this process many systems have been developed that are partly patented as there are specular light guiding blinds, the “Fish” system, light pipes, heliostats, various prismatic panels and others.
Any task related to daylighting such as sun shading, the total energy transmission (g-value), surface temperatures, energy consumption (building pass) and thermal comfort are an integral part of our considerations.
Similar to that process when developing artificial lighting systems our services range from formalising the idea to developing the concept, detailed construction and supporting the manufacturer prior to mass production.
