With Infraselect Dynamic, the Germany-based Flachglas MarkenKreis completes its product range of adaptive glass. This will be presented to a wide audience at BAU 2025. What is behind the new product range and a new partnership?
With its high-quality solar control coating, the new Fineo Solar Control vacuum glass ensures that even rooms behind larger or south-facing windows and façades can maintain a pleasant indoor climate all year round.
Climate change is leading to more frequent hot spells today, while at the same time demands for daylight transmission are increasing. In response, AGC Glass Europe has expanded its solar control glass range to include three new "Stopray" coatings that are highly selective, colour neutral and low reflective.
"Many things that were laughed at just a few years ago have become reality and are now indispensable, such as bird protection glass," said Hans-Joachim Arnold in his welcoming speech in Potsdam.

In view of high energy prices, window replacement is an efficient way to reduce costs. But how much money can it really save in the long run? And why is it better to replace windows first rather than installing a heat pump?
System provider Veka has developed a reinforcement concept for its window systems Softline 76 and 82, which takes into account profile colour, glazing type, element size as well as climatic conditions. The reinforcement concept is already stored in the WinDoPlan online planning tool, and Klaes and 3E are currently programming it.
Zonnebloem is a concept for a solar facade that not only produces clean electricity to help combat climate change but is also designed to cope with some of its expected impacts. See here how it works:
This student prototype developed by facade Master’s Degree students at the TU Delft’s Bucky Lab offers to solve the problem of efficiency loss in solar facades due to heat. The trick is integrating plants:
