Special paints deposited on glass convert the windows of our houses into photoelectric power plants, capable of efficiently trapping sunlight and converting it into electricity. They are manufactured with cheap organic and highly ecological nanomaterials, without any environmental impact.
Construction fabric with springs and platelets (optional),.Denvelops.
Construction fabric DENVELOPS® of plates assembled with springs and/or springs with platelets, fixed integral to a support structure, for the formation of vertical coverings and pergolas.
Diathonite Thermactive.037: the revolution of thermal insulation, the first SATE projected, presented by DIASEN, SRL
First projected SATE that guarantees at the same time a certified Lambda of 0.037 W / mK, heat insulation and high dehumidifying power: the material is designed as a traditional mortar, it is very light and does not overload structures, especially in cases of rehabilitation.

► User experience thanks to a disruptive architectural / interiorist intervention.

WOOPRUGS: Digital personalization with the physical shopping experience, presented by Flow, the retail partner
The great challenge was to create the first point of sale for a brand that until now only sold its products through third parties. This point of sale had to amplify the perception of personalization of the product and increase the value perceived by the client through an immersive and personalized experience.
Show Office prefabricated and responsible with the environment in the plot T 4B of the Cañaveral in Madrid, presented by Xesta-Rasilla Arquitectos
The proposed office show is conceived as a new ORIGIN, a dynamic experience in which the visitor is able to learn in a different way the values and principles provided by the promoter entity. With this, it is possible to transmit to the user the ideas and sensations that you will find in your future home.
Intelligent heating from the ground, presented by Plactherm
The goal is, from painting and decoration, to solve challenges such as the creation of different comfort areas within a room, to improve the legacy systems of air conditioning, or provide usable data to improve customer use, decrease energy consumption and remotely control the system.
► Digital transformation and new business models in the building sector.
BILI_’The Building Data Library’, presented by 5151 Fructuoso arquitecto
