Melinda Lemke, Project Manager, sees how innovations, not least in sustainability, are accelerated by a huge increase in interest and a difficult world situation that has led to increased prices and supply issues. <\/p>\n The interest in recycling flat glass is increasing, which contributes to reduced raw material extraction and reduced energy consumption in the smelting process, as it takes about 30 percent less energy to remelt glass rather than producing new glass.<\/p>\n \u2013 So far, production is highly dependable on natural gas and as long as the world situation is what it is it will affect prices. Tests are being performed to replace natural gas in the smelting process with green alternatives and the great benefit of being able to decrease the climate footprint. <\/p>\n To be inspired by actors in the same industry, but also through other people\u2019s innovations, she sees meeting places as a must. A huge benefit is being able to test products live instead of just reading a description or seeing them on a screen. <\/p>\n \u2013 How important this is was shown at Nordbygg last Spring, where we finally had the opportunity to have an eye-to-eye dialogue after a four-year pause. A fair is about so much more than showing news, suppliers have the opportunity to put their ears to the ground to find out what the market really wants and continue to build their customer relations, Melinda explains. <\/p>\n As part of how meeting across industries can lead to innovation and cooperation, she is very optimistic about the possibilities of sharing knowledge between glass and photovoltaic actors when Nordbygg invests in a new themed area for photovoltaic technology at the fair in 2024.<\/p>\n \u2013 The energy issue is always high on the agenda for us working with glass and there are many good solutions to save energy. We also see many new creative photovoltaic solutions, so that we in the future won\u2019t have to compromise with the design when we generate energy, but can choose freely between patterns and colours. My members and I always long for opportunities to be inspired so that we can bring the industry forward, Melinda closes. <\/p>\n Transparent materials that add function to flat glass, for instance sun protection coating and products such as electrochromic from Swedish Chromogenics. Laminated glass and toughened glass are in general thinner and stronger, since untoughened and unlaminated glass would have to be much thicker to be as strong. Another example of thinner and stronger glass is the innovation from Cornings, chemically toughened gorilla glass in mobile phones. <\/p>\n The first generation of sun protection coatings were almost like mirrors, based on thin layers of metal. The latest generation is made up of two, three and even four silver layers, which give sun protection windows with less reflection and a more neutral colour, but also with high sun protection performance. <\/p>\n For instance Pilkingtons AviSafe, with a patterned UV reinforced coating.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ admin_label=”Bild 1\/2 + Text 1\/2″ _builder_version=”4.24.2″ _module_preset=”90f7fcc8-011e-4540-8598-a12e53a29ab5″ custom_padding=”23px||16px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{%22gcid-zqmeyyr1-ozjs-tdol-t9th-kdmdqxufunhr%22:%91%22border_color_right%22,%22border_color_right%22%93}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ _builder_version=”4.24.2″ _module_preset=”f9b766ed-ceef-4cd8-958d-5caeab6123e6″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.24.2″ _module_preset=”default” link_option_url=”#” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/nordbygg.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/badrum-1080×540-1.jpg” alt=”current – bathrooms” title_text=”bathroom-1080×540″ url=”@ET-DC@eyJkeW5hbWljIjp0cnVlLCJjb250ZW50IjoicG9zdF9saW5rX3VybF9wYWdlIiwic2V0dGluZ3MiOnsicG9zdF9pZCI6IjMzMTkwMjUiLCJlbmFibGVfaHRtbCI6Im9mZiJ9fQ==@” force_fullwidth=”on” module_class=”puff-image” _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _dynamic_attributes=”url” _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_cta title=”News archive” button_url=”@ET-DC@eyJkeW5hbWljIjp0cnVlLCJjb250ZW50IjoicG9zdF9saW5rX3VybF9wYWdlIiwic2V0dGluZ3MiOnsicG9zdF9pZCI6IjMzMTkwMjUiLCJlbmFibGVfaHRtbCI6Im9mZiJ9fQ==@” button_text=”Retrospective” _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _dynamic_attributes=”button_url” _module_preset=”e522eb66-87c3-4648-89dc-84da811024a7″ global_colors_info=”{%22gcid-zqmeyyr1-ozjs-tdol-t9th-kdmdqxufunhr%22:%91%22button_bg_color%22,%22button_border_color%22,%22button_bg_color%22,%22button_border_color%22,%22button_bg_color%22,%22button_border_color%22,%22button_bg_color%22,%22button_border_color%22,%22button_border_color%22%93,%22gcid-8ctl9olw-qzl0-39sh-h9m4-2r68cuzkve1q%22:%91%22button_bg_color%22,%22button_bg_color%22,%22button_bg_color%22,%22button_bg_color%22%93,%22gcid-xe7ua1bg-8o1q-uq3m-f8ql-qk12tgltkuk4%22:%91%22button_bg_color__hover%22%93,%22gcid-b1vezamf-03sf-crky-v342-jj7uc24ewnda%22:%91%22button_text_color%22%93,%22gcid-m0fraqv3-qztm-9290-df11-7p07yu2mtcg6%22:%91%22button_text_color__hover%22%93}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]<\/p>\n Explore our extensive news archive and find inspiring articles and reports from Nordbygg 2024.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_cta][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.24.2″ _module_preset=”default” link_option_url=”#” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/nordbygg.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/nordbygg-live-tre-personer-1080×540-1.jpg” alt=”nordbygg live – speakers on stage” title_text=”nordbygg-live-tre-personer-1080×540″ url=”https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=9QEomufoiC0&list=PLuULlDHZJQgYQqWTIHcAXDpsukDwFD66T” url_new_window=”on” force_fullwidth=”on” module_class=”puff-image” _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_cta title=”Nordbygg Live” button_url=”https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=9QEomufoiC0&list=PLuULlDHZJQgYQqWTIHcAXDpsukDwFD66T” url_new_window=”on” button_text=”Watch the seminars now” _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”e522eb66-87c3-4648-89dc-84da811024a7″ global_colors_info=”{%22gcid-zqmeyyr1-ozjs-tdol-t9th-kdmdqxufunhr%22:%91%22button_bg_color%22,%22button_border_color%22,%22button_bg_color%22,%22button_border_color%22,%22button_bg_color%22,%22button_border_color%22,%22button_bg_color%22,%22button_border_color%22,%22button_border_color%22%93,%22gcid-8ctl9olw-qzl0-39sh-h9m4-2r68cuzkve1q%22:%91%22button_bg_color%22,%22button_bg_color%22,%22button_bg_color%22,%22button_bg_color%22%93,%22gcid-xe7ua1bg-8o1q-uq3m-f8ql-qk12tgltkuk4%22:%91%22button_bg_color__hover%22%93,%22gcid-b1vezamf-03sf-crky-v342-jj7uc24ewnda%22:%91%22button_text_color%22%93,%22gcid-m0fraqv3-qztm-9290-df11-7p07yu2mtcg6%22:%91%22button_text_color__hover%22%93}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]<\/p>\n Watch all the seminars from our main stage on our YouTube channel.
