| glasstec generates important impulses: Good mood and solid investment climate
| Also, this edition confirmed glasstec as the main glass industry event. Check out the highlights from the show.
| Thanks to the committed involvement of architectural offices, university departments and industry associations, glasstec offers some unique added value: the special show: glass technology live!
| Cost cutting, it is often said, is difficult in glass production and processing as this sector is characterised by manual processes.
| Since Oribay began with its Oritape production (commercial brand for its own adhesives), 92% of their customers have already chosen this alternative.
| Today’s functional buildings tend to have shapes that go much further than pure expediency, and glass is therefore used more and more frequently as a structural support element.
| Touchscreen displays, LED technology and ultra-thin glasses: The multifunctional diversity of glass in IT and architecture will, in the long term, lead to a combination of both.
| Over half the world’s seven billion inhabitants live in cities, by the year 2050 the number will grow to almost ten billion. In order to avoid a climatic collapse in the metropolises, there is no other alternative to energy-efficient buildings.
| In just two and a half decades glass has very quickly made the transformation from simple window glass to an almost universally applicable material.
| Cities are eating up an increasing amount of heat and electricity. In order to reduce this consumption, buildings have to become increasingly efficient and integrate more renewable energies.
| The crisis of the photovoltaic industry is drawing to a close. While it is true demand for solar modules is dropping in Europe, demand in many other regions is rising rapidly.
| Finding ways to improve energy efficiency is one of the greatest challenges facing contemporary architecture.
| Although the costs for solar power have come down considerably lately, photovoltaics are still unable to compete with conventional energy sources.
| Thanks to on-going research and development efforts glass products can take on ever new functions.
| The paper shows that the residual stress at the surface of tempered glass panels may vary both locally and globally, i.e., stresses near the edges and corners of the panels may be considerably different from the stresses in the middle part of the panels.
| At this year's GPD in Finland LiSEC was represented by two lecturers.
