A window Against aircraft noise and burglary
Bedroom windows in urban areas have to meet more requirements. For example, the decoupling of the locking mechanism from the rotary movement is relevant to safety, as a project by the Bern University of Applied Sciences shows.
From "Autowindow" of the Bern University of Applied Sciences, there is a follow-up project. It is being further developed under the name "M-Window" to enable the digitization of window systems for end users.
Bedroom windows in urban areas, for example, require such a combination. The original project consisted of a feasibility study on the economic viability of functioning automatic windows for residential buildings. Key points are criteria such as minimizing the noise development of a window drive, research at the interface to building technology and, for example, decoupling the locking mechanism from the rotary movement mechanism.
As Urs Uehlinger explained at the "Windays" a few weeks ago, ventilation, safety and noise functions are to be automated, while at the same time improving energy efficiency. One of the challenges is to intelligently combine sound insulation and ventilation.
The project will run until 2023. Initiated by the Bern University of Applied Sciences, the Workshop of the Future is intended to be an open and neutral learning, development, test and demo environment at full scale.
