AGC Glass Europe is hosting a Hackathon on May 23 to 24 in Brussels, Belgium, for an innovative exploration of Smart Façade, addressing four key challenges:
- Cybersecurity and buildings
How can the façade of our buildings be part of the solution for the cybersecurity issues companies are facing today? - Energy storage and harvesting
How can we use store energy and/or harvest energy via the façade of buildings, besides the conventional application of BIPV? - Building 4.0: the surroundings
How can technology, integrated in the façades of our buildings, contribute to a real smarter urban infrastructure? - Improving the lives inside buildings
How can we leverage the glass façade to improve the everyday lives of the people living or working in the building?
The role of the participants will be to brainstorm, to fuel creative thinking and to structure business cases around façade glass and new applications: intelligent, connected, interactive glass, the material lends itself to some completely incredible applications.
