Cutting carbon with hybrid unitized façades Improved performance with IoT technology Enhanced R&D and QA with in-house testing rig Design for Manufacturing (DfM) used for aluminium elements Progress in patents for installation mechanisms of cantilevered structures R&D Activities and Digitalization Go to contents 26 In 2022, our R&D team worked extensively on the further development of a next generation hybrid unitized façade that can cut embodied carbon by up to 75%. Together with our research partners, we dedicated significant time exploring how to integrate IoT sensors into façades. Meanwhile, we laid the foundation for the construction of our in-house testing rig which will be operational in Q2 2023. Major steps forward in key R&D projects in 2022 These 3 projects - the development of hybrid unitized façades, our exploration of IoT uses, and our internal testing rig - are all partially funded by Norway Grants. We also made progress in our work on patented solutions for installation methods and mechanisms and applied Design for Manufacturing principles in the production of aluminium unitized façades. I believe that our long term commitment to R&D, are boosting the innovation mindset within Staticus, providing a space similar to a playground where people can test, try and experiment.
