Adapted to the climate, the building envelope must be well insulated (low U-values), made air tight and the sun be kept away by variable sun-shading.
KT Instrumentality
Design the building envelope in a scientific way to let in from the environment what the inhabitants like: daylight, the view to the nature and sometimes sun shine and to keep out what harms the indoor environment: wind, rain, noise, cold in winter and heat in summer.
This is attained by:
- A high insulation level of walls and roofs
- Making use of today’s glazing and coating technology
- An adaptable sun shading
- An air thight construction of the building envelope
- A high noise protection level
This allows a soft technology for heating, cooling and ventilation.
