Chapter 1 - Introduction
Novel approaches to building envelopes designs: smart plug and play systems
Today, cost-effective and environmentally friendly approaches represent a must when designing/renovating building envelopes. Newly developed smart plug-and-play envelope systems are reacting to these latest requirements by offering low-cost solutions with energy demand reduction, which contributes to the sustainable use of natural resources and meets European climate targets.
This workshop co-organized with Switch2Save and Powerskin+, our clustering projects featured examples of these novel approaches and looked at them from the research & development as well as industrial and commercial perspectives. Watch the presentations of the PLURAL approach by coordinator Maria Founti and the Powerskin+ approach by coordinator Jorge Corker.
