POWERSKIN PLUS

The building and building construction sectors are responsible for more than a third of global energy consumption and nearly 40 % of CO2 emissions. Improving the energy efficiency of buildings can thus have tremendous impact. Insulation plays an important role in energy efficiency by reducing the need for artificial heating and cooling. The use of renewable energy systems to power the buildings is yet another important way to reduce the environmental impact of buildings. POWERSKIN PLUS is combining enhanced insulation and renewable energy technology based on photovoltaics in modular solutions for retrofit in existing curtain walls. Innovative smart technologies will improve thermal insulation and on-site energy generation and storage to deliver significant advantages in all types of environments.
