The solution is then pinned on an aluminium profile to maintain a certain shape. In fact, according to Christina Eisenbarth, who led the project, HydroSKIN has been shown to achieve a temperature reduction of more than 20°C on the façade surface when transitioning from a dry to a wet state. Moreover, the surface temperature of HydroSKIN in its wet state is more than 50°C lower than that of other conventional façade materials. The material comprises a multi-layered system design featuring a...
