The future-proof glass facade for next generation sustainable buildings.
We spend 90% of our time in buildings, which consume 40% of our global energy demand, and 100% of new buildings must become nearly zero-energy by 2021. This is why we must redesign them. With SmartSkin you take full control of your building’s climate and energy usage. Turn your building’s facade into an electricity generating glass skin powered by the sun. Lower your energy consumption by locally optimizing your building’s climate with a smart sensory system. Anticipating on your desires, SmartSkin can open windows, lower sun blinds or control air ventilation for you. SmartSkin can adopt future technologies in its building management network due to its unique overnight update functionality.
