Climate Change: A Space Solution"?
By now, many around the world will have realized we are experiencing climate change, thanks to our predilection for burning fossil fuels. The politicians have made their usual platitudinous statements that this problem will be solved, say twenty years out. It is now thirty years since these statements started being made, and we find ourselves worse off than when the politicians started. Their…

...”the building was envisioned as a porous architecture structured in a juxtaposition of ‘platforms and boxes’ expressing its programmatic content.”
Christopher Lee, Principal of Serie Architects - https://www.serie.co.uk/projects/8/school-of-design-environment - described that “One of our ambitions when we started the project was to challenge the notion that a high energy efficient building has to be very opaque.”

It is a challenge to fit suitable ventilation or solar shading system to every type of project. Curtain wall systems are one of those new building trends, where standard solutions won’t do. The challenge is to look for a solution using its urge for innovation and creativity. A driven ‘Project team’ focuses on projects like these, together with a large research & development division. They collaborates with architects, contractors and engineers to create a proper solution for any given project, however big the challenge is.
Fix-screen solar shading solution for curtain walls is way less expensive than cooling down the interior with an air conditioning system
Every special project starts with an idea, that is accurately been worked out to a solid design. That design is the first step to come to a mock-up of the specific solution created, to evaluate with everyone involved (architects, contractors, engineers, universities, etc). As soon as these mock-ups are approved, production of the customized parts can be started. Every special project ends up with the start-up and service at the project site itself.
Natural Light gives us a sense of wellbeing. We can harness the natural light more effectively with a good building design, plan and orientation.
Natural light in building design All of us want to live, work, play, shop and relax in natural light and stay connected to the surrounding spaces and views. Natural Light is healthy and gives us a sense of well-being and comfort. Natural Light is more productive and is also more positive due to mental and visual stimulation as proven in many studies worldwide. It has been proven that patients recover faster and feel less pain needing lesser analgesics when recovering or recuperating in natural light conditions in comparison to artificially lit areas. Natural light in a building will depend upon several factors and a good building design should result in most parts of the building as well-lit and the design should also address the energy transfer.
Transparency in building design
Transparency in our case can be defined as visibility or the view through the glass and the resultant feeling of connection to the outside view. Transparency is often perceived to be the same as visible light transmission or VLT. Transparency is actually a factor as to how truly or naturally you see the outside view for its actual color and natural feel. Ideally, you should not see glass, but see the view through the glass. Transparency or visibility through the glass will enhance the feeling of space and of well-being and openness. All paths of natural light transmission into a building may not necessarily be transparent.
