2 The GLASSX crystal method of functioning. GLASSXcrystal integrates 4 system components in a functional unit: transparent heat insulation, protection from overheating, energy conversion and thermal storage. A triple insulating glazing unit provides the system with excellent thermal insulation of a U-value of U=0,48 W/m2K. A prismatic pane in the outermost air-gap reflects the solar radiation at high altitudes in summer and transmits it at altitudes below 35 in winter. As a key component acts the slim heat storage module, equivalent to a storage capacity of about 20 cm concrete. The storage material is a salt hydrate PCM (Phase Change Material). Solar heat is stored in the PCM by means of a melting process. During night time and the following days the stored heat is delivered to the interior during recristallisation. The salt hydrate is contained in a Polycarbonate box. The interior toughened glass pane could optionally be coated with a screen printing. The whole system appears as a translucent wall. Summer sun high in the sky (> 40 ) Total reflection of the rays Shallow winter sun (< 35 ) Loss-free passage of the rays

3 Heiko Hellwig Architekt: Beat Kämpfen, Zürich Versatile, innovative and completely maintenance free Maintenance and lifetime GLASSX crystal is a translucent wall element without any mechanical components or electronic devices. Thus the functionality may be guaranteed over a long lifetime without maintenance.

9 Favorable, sustainable and always disposed for storage Comfort Increased surface temperatures up to 26 C or 28 C at the interior surface of the panel enhance thermal comfort in the room.the facade functions as a large area heat radiator producing a steady and comfortable climate. Design freedom The various size options of GLASSX crystal enables a flexible use.the individual designed interior surface allows to fit the element in different scenes.

25 Heiko Hellwig Architekt: Beat Kämpfen, Zürich Efficient, unfailing and noticeable comfortable Comfort High surface temperatures (26 C to 28 C) on the inside of the element lead to more room comfort. In winter, the inner side of GLASSXcrystal functions as a solar tiled stove, giving off uniform and pleasant radiant heat, which significantly improves the thermal comfort and thus the comfort in the home. Efficiency GLASSXcrystal has a high efficiency because line and storage losses do not apply. This system has no threshold losses; energy is input even in the case of diffuse solar radiation.
