Load-transferring and switchable
Improving the energy efficiency of buildings is of central importance in view of rising energy prices, increasingly scarce fossil energy reserves and the continually advancing greenhouse effect. Minimization of transmission heat losses and solar thermal energy storage in concrete load-bearing structures are vital approaches to improving energy efficiency and optimizing the use of resources. The development of an innovative composite system and multifunctional exterior wall system made of concrete is presented as a result.
The composite façade element comprises a slender façade panel made of...
