Lecture | 08 December 2022, Aachen/ Hybrid Event

On Thursday, December 8, 2022, the PowerSKIN conference will be held as a hybrid event at RWTH Aachen University. The core topic is the building envelope’s future contribution to achieving a climate-neutral building stock.

In his presentation: “Active, passive and cyber-physical adaptive façade strategies: a comparative analysis based on case studies”, Jens Böke will give insights into both research projects ADAPTEX and PRÄKLIMA, which serve as case studies on passive and active adaptive façade strategies.
We are looking forward to the event and an exciting discussion.

News | October 2022, Oman

The ADAPTEX research project explores adaptive textile sunshade elements, able to open and close independently in response to temperature changes. Two different design concepts have been developed: ADAPTEX Wave is based on the deformation of textile strips, while the second approach, ADAPTEX Mesh, superimposes two textile layers to open or close the structure. In both approaches, the opening mechanism is enabled by the integration of smart materials, in particular, shape memory alloys (SMA).

Having already demonstrated the operating principle of ADAPTEX wave and mesh prototypes under laboratory conditions, the developments were further investigated in real-world applications. Muscat in Oman, with its particularly high temperatures, offers an ideal climate to test the behaviour under extreme conditions. Therefore, in August 2022, the Priedemann R&D team visited the German University of Technology (GUTech) in Muscat together with representatives of Weißensee Kunsthochschule Berlin (KHB) and Carl Stahl ARC GmbH to install the solar shading system at the university’s ECO House. A decentralized sensor network is part of this implementation and sends data via the cloud as part of long-term monitoring, providing information about the behaviour of the system during operation.

Many thanks to the GUTech, for the opportunity to realize this project and for the great cooperation during the installation. Other project partners are Verseidag-Indutex GmbH and i-Mesh | Customizable Textile for Architecture & Design, whom we also thank very much for their support and cooperation in the ADPATEX KLIMA+ research project. The project is funded by BMBF Zwanzig20 within the innovation network smarthoch3.
