Topic

Being a façade engineer today

Talk points

It is a fascinating time to be working as a façade engineer as the profession finds itself playing an increasingly important role in the design team, largely due to the increased interest in the façade as an environmental filter

However aside from these environmental issues the discipline touches many other aspects of building physics as well as requiring a knowledge of material science and the constantly evolving methods of analyses and fabrication. A rich range of subjects to be mastered

In this dynamic situation, perhaps, it would be worthwhile to ask the question of how we as a profession should be structured, in order to allow us to evolve and reply to the challenges we face

Using smart-glass is as exciting as using glass smartly to work, live in healthy, sustainable and connected buildings… Discover how glass changes the building industry!

Talk points

Fighting the myths: Glass is not the weak point in buildings, but a contributor to healthy and energy-efficient performant living and working spaces

Reducing the environmental impact of buildings and improving the interior environment of building is at the same time benefiting human health, happiness and well-being. Thanks to today’s hi-tech glass solutions that go beyond energy savings

Enabling the façade to become dynamic and connected will allow for the building to become truly smart, understanding and answering the changes occurring all around the year and the users to benefit from the optimum conditions nature has to offer
