Building Re-Skinning Competition
The purpose is to advance the state-of-the-art in building retrofitting
technologies. The task of re-skinning existing infrastructure to increase
energy efficiency and reduce environmental impact is a timely and
urgent challenge. It is also one of the most exciting opportunities
for technological collaboration on a global level.
