The PowerSkin Conference: Creating a Carbon Neutral Building Stock

Over the past decades, the building skin has undergone significant advancements, playing a crucial role in the energy performance and environmental quality of buildings. As an adaptive climate control system, the façade integrates form, material, mechanical, and energy systems in an innovative design. The PowerSkin Conference, hosted by prominent institutions such as the Technical University of Munich, TU Darmstadt, and TU Delft, aims to explore the potential of building skins in achieving a carbon neutral building stock.

Exploring Digital Processes in Façade Design and Construction

In its 2019 edition, the PowerSkin Conference places a particular focus on digital processes in façade design and construction, showcasing the latest scientific research and developments in the field. Architects, engineers, and scientists will gather on January 17, 2019, to present their groundbreaking projects and foster public discussion.

A Holistic Approach to Energy Efficiency and Environmental Sustainability

The PowerSkin Conference delves into a wide range of topics, including building operation, embodied energy, energy generation and storage within the context of the building envelope. By exploring these themes, the conference aims to shape a comprehensive understanding of how the building skin can contribute to a sustainable and environmentally conscious future.

Join the Collaborative Efforts Driving Progress

The PowerSkin Conference is a collaborative effort between prestigious institutions and the trade fair BAU 2019, supported by the national funding initiative Zukunft Bau (BBSR). By bringing together experts from academia, industry, and research, the conference establishes a platform for knowledge exchange, networking, and innovative ideas. Together, we can push the boundaries of building skin technology and build a brighter future.
