Daylight and Heat Management foil for high quality illumination in buildings|(DayGlazing) MIP: BASF Schweiz AG

Abstract (German)

High rise with glazed façades are the predominant architecture in the so-called "mega-cities". Managing the|solar heat gain with respect to energy balance, well-being and costs is essential. This project aims for a new|glazing technology as opposed to current solutions in the glass industry. A single light management foil will|be able to provide the combination of improved interior illumination in the visible and dynamic infrared light|control for energy savings. This project will allow BASF Schweiz AG to keep and develop a sustainable R&D|axes in Switzerland.
