TEmotion^® intelligent façade, a concept invented and patented by leading German class company Wicona, is a glass facade system which combines the elements of the most advanced technology used in building facades today. This glass facade reacts to the change in the environment and other external factors, such as light and temperature in order to regulate the internal climate and reduce operational costs for both the user and the building. TEmotion^® control system integrates ventilation technology for air conditioning and heating by regulating the amount of the sun light’s radiation entrance in the internal environment to prevent over-heating. At the same time, TEmotion^® allows a converse means of control over the windows shadowing to allow more light to enter indirectly. By this process of automatic opening and closing of facade elements, the system occasionally allows the entrance of fresh air at night, therefore significantly reducing the costs of cooling for the building. The system also enables the production of electricity to be utilized by the building via photovoltaic elements integrated in the façade surface.

Advantages of Intelligent facade TEmotion:

• An integrated system with opening façade elements, ventilation, heating, sun protection and lighting.
• The module concept, with individual elements of the facade being placed together and mounted one-by-one.
• Saving energy: unlike conventional facades, TEmotion^® systems save 40 to 50% in primary energy costs for heating, ventilation and lighting.
• Individual adjustment for every element: the dimensions and distribution of special components can be adjusted and adapted in accordance to each building project’s need.
• Ideal solutions for renovated buildings-all integrated technology for the dimensions of the building remains limited in the areas of the face.
• Natural ventilation in all weather conditions
• Optimal acoustic insulation even while windows are open
