SolAce

Even in old-established sectors like the heating, ventilating and air conditioning industry there are blank areas, in which innovative solutions are still missing: One of them is the capture of solar energy and daylight by the building envelope. These topics will be investigated by EPFL Researchers and their industrial partners in the SolAce unit. Multi-functional facade technologies will be implemented to achieve an Energy-Plus and a Low Carbon combined working/living space. For more information about the unit in general click here
