Embracing natural light and sustainable solutions in architectural adaptation to climate change

Balancing natural light and climate resilience in architecture through innovative glass solutions and urban greening, to be discussed at glasstec 2024.
Editorial Team

Harnessing natural daylight is crucial for human well-being and productivity. However, climate change necessitates innovative solutions for maintaining comfortable indoor environments.

The glass industry offers selective layered systems that balance daylight transmission and thermal protection. Adaptation to climate change requires interdisciplinary efforts, as highlighted by the German Sustainable Building Council (DGNB).

Integrating greenery into urban architecture aids in temperature regulation and enhances quality of life. These topics will be further explored at the upcoming glasstec 2024 trade fair.
