The Research and Development department of the Priedemann Group works together with partners from planning, research, and industry to develop forward-looking products, technologies, and services for the façade of the future.
Festo was the first project in which we brought our idea of the ACT façade – as we later named it – to life. ACT stands for Active Cavity Transition, three words that describe how it works. We also found ACT to be a very fitting name, since it is in fact an active building envelope, not just a passive sun shading system.
