SyracuseCoE HQ Demonstration Project Featured by NY Times
The Center for Architecture Science and Ecology (CASE), a research and development collaboration between Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, and other engineering and architectural companies was recently featured in a New York Times blog. The group--collectively known as HeliOptix--has developed a Dynamic Solar Facade, a glass frontage with rows of transparent, pyramid-shaped concentrators configured in a honeycomb pattern and hung on wires that move up and down, or twist side to side, to track the sun. The Dynamic Solar Façade is installed in the SyracuseCoE headquarters building for its first full-scale demonstration project. The installation contains 64 concentrators in an 8-by-10-foot glass. Each concentrator is equipped with a lens that magnifies light nearly 500 times and directs it to a postage stamp-size Spectrolab solar cell. To read the full article, click here.
