We are very proud to announce that the Adaptive Solar Facade and its spin-off Zurich Soft Robotics (ZSF) are among the winners of the Energy Lab Grant!
Congratulations to the Architecture and Building Systems, ETH Zürich and the ZSF team: Arno Schlueter, Lukas Lichtensteiger, Bratislav Svetozarevic, Gabriel Kreuzer, Alexander Zuest and Vesna Kosoric.
”One of the key strategies to decarbonize the building stock and achieve carbon neutrality by 2050 is to integrate PV not only on the rooftops but also onto façades. The Adaptive Solar Facade is an innovative lightweight, multifunctional, and dynamic PV system that can be integrated onto building envelopes. It reduces building energy demand by 20-80% and increases occupants’ comfort at lower life-cycle cost and at better overall emissions compared to other shading and PV systems.”
