Project Description
The objective of the project is to develop an ultra-lightweight, fully transparent secondary skin façade NEERO-Façade with a filigree construction for double-skin façades. The main fields of application are e.g. atriums, foyers in new buildings as well as energy efficiency improvements and protection of high-quality existing buildings. In order to achieve maximum transparency, an innovative structural design of the secondary skin façade is developed. All components of the façade are individually designed for transparent NEEROGLAS® composite panels as glazing. The sandwich panels consist of a combination of lightweight plastic interlayer core and thin glass cover layers. This results in low self-weight of the glazings and allows for a filigree design at larger spans. The entire façade is redesigned architecturally and structurally, in terms of shape and material. All components (supports, substructure, anchors and connections) are developed for the extreme lightness of NEEROGLAS® and to achieve maximum transparency. A general fire protection concept for the façade accompanies the development process. Furthermore, serviceability and stability tests verify the load-bearing behaviour. A numerical tool to simulate and extend the design to varying sizes and constructions is developed. At the end of the project, a demonstrator shows the practical application of the façade.
