In terms of being able to absorb moisture from the air and release it again, the StoCalce Functio mineral regulating plaster system even surpasses loam plasters by over 50 per cent. It forms the basis of a scientifically tested lime product system which is proven to improve the ambient interior climate of new and existing buildings thanks to its natural components.
In the Netherlands, as elsewhere, measures are being introduced to improve the energy efficiency of existing buildings. A small brick building from the 1970s on a residential estate in Tilburg has been fitted with facade insulation, new windows, new heating and ventilation, and photovoltaics to ensure it is fit for the next fifty years.
Ventilated rainscreen cladding systems provide excellent thermal insulation, sound insulation, and design variety. They range from seamlessly rendered carrier boards (StoVentec R) to glass panel facades with accentuated joints (StoVentec Glass) and photovoltaic systems (StoVentec ARTline).
Our dimmable solar control glass provides shading without stopping all the daylight from entering the building. And with solar factors of below 10 percent it also effectively protects against overheating in summer. It is equally suitable for new buildings and for (energetic) building renovation. In 2015 the time had come for the research institute “IMBA” in Vienna to exchange the single-pane glazing of the south façade for the dimmable glass ECONTROL (insulation glass type 45/8).
With its new product line “sedak isomax”, sedak strengthens its leading position for premium oversize insulating and safety glass. Despite its slim design, the double and triple units reach a U-value up to 0.23 W/m²K, a new insulation level. They are available in up to 3.2m x 16m. Besides that, the glass manufacturer presented some exhibits with especially sophisticated detail-solutions: a backlit glass pane with a high-resolution, ceramic-ink digital print, a construction showing a part of a glass-fin façade with minimal connection elements, as well as a bent triple laminate.
At BAU 2017, sedak presents a trade fair highlight: the new IGU product line „sedak isomax” with a U-value up to 0.23 W/m²K. The double and triple insulating glass units are available in up to 3.2m x 16m, dimensions typical of the manufacturer. The product line is combinable with all common façade systems. Therefore, glass façades with minimal thermal loss can be realized easily.
sedak stands for oversize insulating and safety glass up to 16 m in premium quality. Since „big” is not only a question of dimensions, the glass manufacturer from Gersthofen focuses on perfection in detail at the BAU 2017. What that means for glass, sedak shows with four large exhibits in hall C2, stand 100.
The glass manufacturer sedak has released a new quality handbook. It defines the manufacturing tolerances and is the basis for the visual assessment of sedak products. Besides the standards, regulations and data sheets mentioned in the handbook, order-specific tolerances are determined especially due to the current technical production capabilities.
With a customized inloader, sedak optimizes the handling of oversize glass. The new 23m long inloader now delivers glass units up to 16m. The steerable rear axle which allows the truck to drive through narrow curves such as roundabouts is the key feature of the mega trailer. Due to its space-saving interior concept, no escort vehicle is required.
To encourage interaction and collaboration among students was the goal when the Blavatnik School of Government (University of Oxford, England) decided to make one building out of three. The architectural design by Herzog & de Meuron reflects the open communication concept.
