The building sector is facing many major challenges: rising construction costs and a shortage of skilled workers are colliding with an urgent need for new housing. Simultaneously, the energy and heating transition, not to mention the rapid pace of digitalisation, are creating new opportunities for a sustainable future. Messe Frankfurt has responded to the dynamic challenges in the market with a newly formed management team for its Building Technologies division.
Highly effective bird protection without changing the visual properties of glass is not yet possible using current technology. Effective protection is provided by grids of dots measuring 9 -12 millimetres in diameter, spaced 90 to 100 millimetres apart and consisting of metallic coatings that create bright reflections on less reflective glass – making for stark contrasts in optimum spectral ranges for birds.
Guardian Glass and Kuraray have partnered to obtain a Document Technique d’Application (DTA) for the compatibility of Guardian SunGuard™ High Durable (HD) coatings (coating against interlayer) and SentryGlas® Xtra™ interlayer material. This combination offers architects and façade consultants a new opportunity to design a building envelope with high strength and energy performance.

Natural daylight supports our circadian rhythm, keeps us alert and productive. This is why humans prefer living and working spaces that are flooded with natural light. However, in a changing climate buildings need also more air-conditioning due to longer and more intense periods of heat. The glass industry offers solutions in the form of highly selective layered systems that make for both high daylight transmission and thermal protection in summer, which reduces the climatic load and the periods of time where shading is required.
More greenery, more sustainability and better quality of stay
On January 1, 2024, Japan was hit by a magnitude 7.6 earthquake, causing USD 17.6 billion in infrastructure damage. This event highlights the critical need for seismic-resilient construction.
Wien Energie and Actility today announced a strategic partnership to deploy a LoRaWAN® network in Vienna. This significant initiative falls in line with Vienna’s digital strategy, aiming to position Vienna as the most livable and smartest city in the world. The project leans into the city’s commitment to human digitalization, ensuring the technology supports its residents rather than displacing them.
