Today, Okasolar 3D glass solutions from Okalux are installed in the largest wooden building in Europe, as well as Silverstar Combi Neutral 70/35 with EN2 Plus products from Glas Trösch. These glasses ensure optimised use of daylight and at the same time enable high energy efficiency.
Optimised use of daylight with Okasolar 3D roof glazing
Okalux Glastechnik
In keeping with the motto "light, freshness and generosity", the interior of the clearly structured building complex is characterised by a bright landscape of sports, exercise and learning areas. The Okasolar 3D insulating glass from Okalux Glastechnik used in the roof is responsible for the pleasant, glare-free daylight.
The three-dimensionally shaped, highly reflective solar control louvre in the SZR prevents direct sunlight regardless of the position of the sun. It ensures uniform illuminance of the sports and exercise rooms as well as the 14 m high climbing hall.

The south-facing main louvres are made of highly reflective aluminium and have a high degree of reflection. They were also made from a roll-formed aluminium strip for the nearby CiO new building to create a uniform appearance without joints or gaps.
Test measurements confirm the high-performance combination of reflection of direct irradiation and optimal transmittance for diffuse daylight.
What does Okasolar glass do?

The maximum light transmission of the Okasolar 3D louvre is 85 % in the transmission area (without glass), the g-value in the middle blocking area is around 10 %. Depending on the glass structure, the heat transmission coefficient is up to 0.7 W/(m2K).
With these glass solutions, artificial lighting can be reduced to a minimum during the day, which in turn enables a significant reduction in energy consumption. Another plus: due to the protected position of the sun shading slats in the SZR of the insulating glass units, the daylight system is maintenance-free.
Triple insulating glass from Glas Trösch
In order to also generate transparency and daylight via the exterior walls, the planners decided on triple insulating glazing for the ground floor with Silverstar Combi Neutral 70/35 with EN2 Plus from Glas Trösch.
The Triple insulating glass used for a total area of 2100 square metres contributes to a significant reduction in energy consumption thanks to the high-quality Silverstar EN2plus thermal coating in position 5.

With a light transmittance of 62%, the combi glass also ensures a high daylight quotient and thus an optimal lighting situation inside the building.
At the same time, Silverstar Combi Neutral 70/35 effectively protects interiors from the heating component of sunlight: the coating in position two reflects a large proportion of the incident infrared radiation, as evidenced by the low total energy transmittance of 33 %. Last but not least, the excellent colour neutrality matches the clear architectural language and ensures a harmonious overall impression of the new building at the Olympic Park.
