glass technology live
In addition to the traditional topics of glass machining and refining, the primary focus of glass technology live will be on climate protection and energy efficiency. Spanning a range of materials and disciplines, this will incorporate the display and presentation of the newest products, technology and trends, together with the outcome of the latest research projects.
Alongside multi-functional glass, coatings and innovative glass design techniques, glass technology live will also embrace topics such as heat insulation, sun protection, photo-voltaics and solar thermal applications. The special exhibition will also feature the most recent developments and application possibilities in relation to insulating glass, windows and facades, as well as a wealth of innovations for energy-efficient and integrative building envelopes.
Complementing the special display will be a specialist symposium with high-calibre lectures and presentations by practical exponents as well as individuals working in the field of research, plus the architectural congress first held at glasstec 2006 when around 500 architects participated in the event prior to visiting the exhibition. This highly successful congress is scheduled to make a repeat appearance at glasstec 2008.

Solar at glasstec
In 2008 the Special Show 'glass technology live' in Hall 11 is dedicated primarily to the focal themes climate protection and energy efficiency. The latest products, technologies and research results on topics like thermal insulation, solar protection, photovoltaics and solar thermal systems are showcased here.
Glassy Bridges and Energetic Facades
Glass and architecture share the same stage - provided by the special show glass technology live. In hall 11, visitors admire glass objects in amazing dimensions. Also higher demands on glass facades are an important topic of the special show in order to enable glass and new technologies to contribute to gaining energy in future.
Trend Report: Solar Technology
Not long ago visionary researchers of solar cells were not always taken very seriously. The technology was deemed too inefficient as well as too costly, observers argued. However, this is about to change with solar panels increasingly becoming an attractive source of energy. This is so because of rising energy costs, improved cost-efficiency rates of solar-powered units and falling prices for electricity- and heat-producing solar collectors per square meter.
