Concept

A prefabricated envelope system that integrates comprehensive thermal insulation for building facades, eliminating condensation risks. The solution integrates BIST panels, for renewable energy production, matching aesthetically the features of the building. The solution also includes windows, already integrated in the all-in-one prefabricated package.

  Manufacturing

  Traditional façade and windows

  Single elements are separately produced and sent to the building site from different factories

  Prefabricated integrated façade

  Individual elements are fabricated separately and delivered to the prefabricated façade manufacturer. All components, including windows and BIST panels, are assembled in the factory into a single module for transport to the site
• 

  Waste

  Traditional façade and windows

  -

  Prefabricated integrated façade

  Limited due to factory optimization and correctly separated, stored and recycled
• 

  Assembly time

  Traditional façade and windows

  -

  Prefabricated integrated façade

  14-21 working days for 100 sqm
