ENVELOPE OF
TOMORROW

2. OUR
MISSION
ActivSkeen was founded with the conviction that the building,
in particular its envelope, is at the forefront of energy transition, as part
of the fight against climate change and the evolutions in our way of
living and working.
We embed state-of-the-art technologies in our construction solutions:
A façade is no longer only an element ensuring waterproofing,
insulation and ventilation, but one which produces energy on top of
those basic functions.
We deploy building-integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) technologies and
dynamic glass solutions, and manage the entire value chain from the
design of innovative materials through the engineering required for their
installation.
Our solutions contribute to the emergence of near-zero-energy buildings
(nZEBs) and energy autonomy at distinct scales, from individual buildings,
through neighbourhoods to districts. Our objective is to transform these
active solutions into new opportunities in architectural design, driven
by a permanent quest for quality in our constructions and excellence
in our skills.
Our multi-disciplined teams offer architects, developers, general
contractors, and engineering teams a single point of contact, mastering
all technical skills required for the project. Interfaces are simplified
for optimized project management, from the first sketch through to
completion.
We strive to bring the ideas of the visionaries of tomorrow to life
through our mission: to develop and promote active and aesthetic
envelope solutions to optimize building energy performance and improve
occupants’ comfort.

3. OUR
CLIENTS
ActivSkeen’s mission is to support
architects, developers, general
contractors, and engineering teams
to realize their vision and create the
envelope of tomorrow’s building.
We can either assist them on a one-off basis, or
throughtheirentireprojectforaseamlessintegration
of active solutions, whether for new build or
renovation work.
We bring together all the stakeholders around
a common goal – creating an active, innovative,
aesthetic, and high-performance envelope, to meet
today’s challenges of comfort and energy efficiency.
FAÇADE SPECIALISTS
We can supply façade specialists with the active elements to implement in their
systems and assist them with engineering, installation, and interface management.
MAIN CONTRACTORS
We propose tailored or turnkey solutions to main contractors, providing assistance
as consultant or sub-contractor on the “Active Envelope” package. As such, we
can step in on specific phases such as the design and supply of active elements
(design and fabrication of BIPV modules, dynamic glass, etc.), engineering
(photovoltaic, electric, energy producing), or propose a full-service offer through to
installation, including commissioning.
ENGINEERING TEAMS
We bring our full range of expertise to the design team in terms of advanced
modelling, engineering, and integration of active elements in a building’s envelope.
We define and design the active elements, evaluate the photovoltaic potential
and/or energy performance of the building, size the electrical systems, define façade
systems and interface active elements with the building’s management systems.
DEVELOPERS
We act as consultants for our developer clients when structuring their programmes,
defining communication, sustainability and eco-labelling strategy. We support them
to analyse different technical scenarios in terms of financial impact, brand image,
or sustainability.
ARCHITECTS
We assist our architect clients in identifying technical and aesthetic solutions
to meet their needs, enriching their materials library, supporting them during
competition procedures, designing and prototyping solutions. We evaluate the
impact of architectural choices on the energy performance of the building,
right from the first sketch.

4. OUR
APPROACH
A resolutely multi-disciplinary
approach
We are convinced that value is created by taking a holistic view of a project,
attaching equal importance to construction challenges and asset life management.
Our approach is therefore multi-disciplinary,
our specialists having a thorough knowledge of the
materials deployed, energy modelling of buildings,
labels and norms, photovoltaic and electrical
engineering, façade engineering and the installation
of solutions.

whether for new-build or renovation projects. We thereby
offer a one-stop service, simplifying the interfaces between
disciplines that typically operate as silos.
We mobilize the expertise that allows our clients
to benefit from innovative solutions, and leverage
a wide range of aesthetic finishes to free up their
architectural creativity, reach their environmental
objectives, and add value to their building portfolio.

5. OUR
SOLUTIONS
To optimise energy needs and the comfort of occupants,
we can today deploy building-integrated photovoltaic
technologies (BIPV) and dynamic glass solutions.
As part of our RD roadmap, we are working on new
technologies that will soon transform the role of the
building’s envelope.
Giving energy
production capability
to any surface
Because the roll-out of near-zero-energy buildings (nZEBs) requires
in-situ energy generation, we propose a vast range of active photovoltaic
solutions that can be integrated into buildings. We offer numerous
possibilities in terms of aesthetic finishes to ensure highest level of
architectural integration.
Many surfaces on a building’s envelope can be leveraged
to produce energy:
Curtain or double-skin walls
Roofs and glass structures
Façade accessories
Improving comfort
while reducing
energy needs
Natural light, protection against glare, and thermal comfort
are among the primary criteria for wellbeing in the workplace.
We offer dynamic glass solutions which adapt to the external
sunlight conditions, with full-tint capability.
These solutions enable both enhanced comfort and reduced energy
needs (up to 30% for air-conditioning requirements).
And much more…
We believe that only an holistic approach can create value. As such,
beyond systems that can be integrated in the envelope, we are
working on energy storage, systems maintenance, and optimization of
energy needs.

When comfort goes hand in hand
with asset value enhancement and
energy savings.
GIVING ENERGY PRODUCTION
CAPABILITY TO ANY SURFACE
Building Integrated Photovoltaic (BIPV) technologies offer
unlimited architectural design opportunities.
COMFORT
Dynamic glass solutions allow daylight to come
in, while reducing glare and heat transfer for the
highest level of comfort of occupants. The glass
tint level is optimized according to the external
conditions and settings.
ENERGY
EFFICIENCY
Dynamic glass enables optimisation of energy
needs by regulating sunlight allowed in.
Reductions of 20% to 30% in cooling demands
can be achieved.
For a simplified deployment of dynamic glass solutions, the
Horizon Dynamic® window - the first smart, autonomous and
connected solar window - eliminates all cabling works.
Visible cells Single colour Bespoke design
TAILORED SOLUTIONS
Tailored photovoltaic solutions offer an unlimited
choice of aesthetic finishes (coloured glass,
coloured interlayers, digital printing, silkscreen
printing), with varied forms and dimensions.
SEMI-TAILORED
The semi-tailored range (standard dimensions
with choice of colours) allows the use of
photovoltaic elements on façades and cladding
systems, at optimal pricing.
SEMI-TRANSPARENT
Semi-transparent photovoltaic materials are
also available, offering different degrees of light
transmission. They are especially adapted for
skylights, curtain walls, or windows.
or
Depending on the project,
we can make photovoltaic installations:
Visible
Black matt
Invisible
The technologies used allow great flexibility in terms of colour and finish of materials to tackle the architectural and
aesthetic challenges of each project.
The façade can generate electricity, the installed power finances the facade.

7. We combine the best technologies to
provide active and aesthetic façade and
envelope solutions that reduce a building’s
environmental footprint and improve comfort.
