Newly developed smart plug and play envelope systems are reacting to these latest requirements by offering low cost solution with energy demand reduction, which contributes to sustainable use of natural resources and meets European climate targets.

The workshop featured examples of these novel approaches looking at them from the research & development as well as industrial and commercial perspectives.

Workshop topics:

The role of smart windows in EU’s Energy Efficient Buildings Strategy
Different approaches towards smart building envelopes designs – Examples of EU funded projects (Switch2Save, PLURAL, POWERSKIN+)
How to bring innovative technologies to the market – Climate smart and cost-effective glass
Challenges of smart plug and play systems from the industrial perspective
Round table discussion
Switch2Save Architectural Design Competition launch
