Paper: Tuning the Solar Performance of Building Facades through Polymer 3D Printing

Facades are the primary interface controlling the flow of solar energy in buildings and affecting their energy balance and environmental impact. In their new paper "Tuning the Solar Performance of Building Facades through Polymer 3D Printing" Valeria Piccioni, Matthias Leschok, Lars O. Grobe, Stephen Wasilewski, Bharath Seshadri, Illias Hischier and Prof. Arno Schlueter, explore experimental procedures to relate the optical properties of PETG components to design and 3DP parameters.
