Buildings

The place where we spend a lot of our time and energy.

Buildings are where we spend almost 90% of our time. They account for more than a third of global energy consumption and over 40% of energy-related CO2 emissions. Anything you can improve there - from comfort of inhabitants to energy efficiency - will have a big impact!

And we are REALly lucky - thanks to the group of Philipp Heer, we can develop and try new methods on what is quite objectively the coolest building of all times: Empa’s NEST. If you have not heard of it, you are missing out. Click here to learn all about NEST!
