Facades play a central role when it comes to the energy efficiency and sustainability of a building. The challenges of climate change require innovative solutions in material technology, durability and energy optimisation. The Nordic Facade Forum offers the opportunity to learn about the latest trends and developments from the world's leading experts in facade technology, materials science and architecture.

Practical solutions for adapting facades, especially to the harsh climatic conditions that prevail in Scandinavia and other Nordic countries, will also be presented.
