Bau 2023 trade fair

Fraunhofer UMSICHT presents together with other institutes from the Fraunhofer Building Innovation Alliance innovative solutions for the construction of the future. At the trade fair you will experience the resource-saving glass-foil roofing and the vercial water retention system. The lightweight and modular system is a combination of a glass-foil modular system and an inner roof made of mobile, translucent and IR-reflective fabric. Thus, CO2 and energy can be saved. The vertical water retention system consists of a load-bearing, permeable outer shell with a water-storing core made of mineral materials. These modules are coupled to the roof drainage system, so that rainwater is fed directly into the modules. This can counteract heavy rainfall events and improve the microclimate in cities.
