Membrane constructions for building refurbishment

People will need to grow accustomed to this term: “textile architecture”. Buildings such as the Munich football stadium or the swimming pool building in Beijing demonstrate new design and construction possibilities using textile architecture. At the same time, the innovative, lightweight and flexible structures made using sheeting or textile fabrics also allow buildings to be energy-optimised. Now solutions for the energy-oriented refurbishment of buildings are being developed and tested in a research project.

Next Step: Vacuum insulation glass

Vacuum instead of inert gases - with this technological development, glazing could take another great developmental stride. However, at 10 tonnes per square metre, the atmospheric pressure on evacuated flat glazing is immense. And for evacuated glazing, the same applies as for vacuum panels: only a lasting vacuum guarantees good thermal insulation. Now, this research project is to provide evidence that evacuated glazings with special functional layers are technically feasible for architecture.

Design study for the new frame structure with triple insulation glazing

Thinner heat insulation with new window and facade constructions

The heat insulation requirements on buildings will only continue to be tightened. For exterior walls with heat insulation, this is basically not a problem. But for windows and facades it is conceivable that in a few years the requirements will only be met with triple-glazing or with vacuum-glazing which may be available by then. A research project will now develop particularly low thermal bridging constructions for the integration of extremely good thermal insulating and vacuum glazing for thin framework and facade structures.
