Since achieving Passive House Institute A+ certification in 2018, our GVG 60 Curtain Walling and Façade system has set a benchmark for performance. Now, through pioneering vacuum glass technology, it attains an exceptional whole-window Ucw value of ≤ 0.7 W/m²K—a fact powerfully illustrated in the PHI’s isothermal analysis below.
Yet its true potential extends far beyond insulation. This system transforms the building envelope into an active, energy-generating asset:
- Integrated PV Solar Vacuum Glassconverts the façade into a vertical solar farm, enabling on-site renewable energy production.
- Radiator Vacuum Glass incorporates a thermostatically controlled radiant heating system within the glazing, delivering efficient warmth at no ongoing energy cost.
- Electrochromic Vacuum Glass provides dynamic solar radiation management and on-demand privacy via instantaneous switch or remote control.
This represents the next evolution in building envelopes. While conventional triple-glazing requires replacement every 10–15 years, our vacuum glass technology offers superior thermal performance with a lifespan exceeding 50 years.
The GVG 60 system will launch across Europe this spring. For comprehensive technical specifications, it will soon be available on NBS Source under Werkman Tech.
This is not merely an advancement in glazing—it is the future of the building façade.
