Architects and Planner Congress: FASSADE 2018 — smart green dynamic , at the Fair BAUTEC in Berlin, Germany
Venue: Berlin, Germany
Two independent lectures by Daniel Pfanner from Bollinger+Grohmann and Teodora Vatahska and Dr. Axel Müller from HTCO GmbH
At one of the most notable international trade fair for building and construction technology – bautec, the congress “FAÇADE 2018” took place on 22 February in Berlin. Around 500 architects, planners and engineers got the latest information about the current trends and developments in the façade sector. In the recent year the façade is accepted more than just a pure externality of the building. Its functionality has an increasingly important role. Designing smart, green and sustainable facades has become a main objective of the planners and manufacturers. That is why innovative technologies are developed, revolutionary materials and new ways of designing are being tried out.
Daniel Pfanner from Bollinger + Grohmann explained from an engineering point of view the variations in functionality possible with the Fluid Flow facades. After all, individual energy-efficient components do not actually lead to energy savings in the building. Only the coordination of the single devices and techniques in a combination brings significant energy savings. A flow simulation in advance of the planning can be groundbreaking in this respect.
The congress covered a large variety of topics and clearly conveyed the many advantages of the modern façade designs. In the upcoming years still it will be exciting to see, which facades will manage to combine the aesthetics, functionality and energy savings in order to be considered facades of the future.
