3. Challenge and opportunity

4. Daylight management
- Provide architectural quality
- Provide visual comfort
- Maximize natural lighting
- Control heat radiation
- Minimize energy demand
Conflicting functions ask for adaptive systems !

- Static metallic coatings for sun protection

6. Strategies for daylight management
- Static metallic coatings for sun protection
- Internal blinds

7. Strategies for daylight management
- Static metallic coatings for sun protection
- Internal blinds
- External blinds and louvers

8. Strategies for daylight management
- Static metallic coatings for sun protection
- Internal blinds
- External blinds and louvers
- Double façade layers

9. Demand
- Adaptive and efficient systems
- Reduced constructional complexity
- Low maintenance solutions
- Architectural possibilities

10. Pool of solutions
Light responsive polymer materials

11. Sensing pigment – state of the art
We can develop adaptive pigments for
paints and coatings
- Visible or (near) infrared spectrum
- Responsive or active controlled
Univ. Bayreuth (H.-W. Schmidt et al.) BASF

12. Responsive reflectors
Respond to change in
- Temperature,
- Acetone (Diabetes)
- Humidity,
- CO2, O2, Amines
- Light (sunlight, LED illumination)

14. Applications
- Colour adaptive facade coatings
- Responsive facade coatings to control heat
absorption / emission (Steel, Aluminium, plastics,
ceramics)
- Adaptive coatings for glass to control incoming
radiation
- Possible in visible and (near) infrared spectrum
- Responsive or electronically controlled
