Energy-Harvesting Facades

Energy-Harvesting Facades

Building skins that generate power while regulating internal climate.

Advanced architectural envelopes integrating transparent solar cells, piezoelectric materials, and kinetic elements. These active facades not only generate renewable electricity but also dynamically adapt transparency and insulation properties to reduce thermal load, transforming buildings from energy consumers into energy prosumers.
