Editorial André Horbach ith the constant changes in energy legislation, especially in Europe, we are witnessing the growing importance of Wsmart energy design in building construction. Ventilated façades can provide energy ecient solutions. erefore, we are focusing on the development of decor technology that not only improves the aesthetics of our products but also takes into consideration the energy component. “We are focusing on the development of decor technology that not only improves the aesthetics of our products but also takes into consideration the energy component.” In this issue, we have included a selection of forward-thinking projects where the energy aspect was fundamental. For instance, Kengo Kuma’s Hikari buildings, partly cladded with Trespa® Meteon®, which are part of the rst positive energy mixed-use community in Europe. As the energy eciency needs to grow, also from a sustainability point of view the longevity aspect of the façade continues to hold an important role. Buildings must look good and stand the test of time. Trespa® panels have for decades a proven track record in longevity, in many climates all over the world. We are committed to continue investing in the development of new decors that foresee trends and can be used to create beautiful and durable façades.
