Didier Roux (R&D and Innovation Vice President, Saint-Gobain) - January 14, 2016
Housing is a central concern of our societies, buildings are facing many challenges due to energy and environmental issues. We will show that solutions to meet these challenges cover many aspects of material science together with the design of buildings and their use. We will discuss, among other things, issues related to building energy efficiency, better use of fossil fuels, usage of renewable energy (including photovoltaic) and lighting : taking into account the fast penetration of electronic lighting. We will also describe how new technologies such as digital may change the way we build and use buildings.
