Green Tech Guide 2017/18
Welcome to the Green Tech Valley The showcase region in southern Austria, more commonly known by its nickname as the Green Tech Valley, is ranked as the world’s No. 1 region for energy and environmental technology and with an R & D ratio of 5.16% it is a leading region for research in Europe. You can gain a feel for this concentration of innovative power in the enclosed Green Tech Valley Guide. Contained in its 180 pages, you will find over 400 cutting-edge technologies from SMEs and large leading companies. This makes it an ideal companion guide for any projects or collaboration, where leading, high-quality Green Technology innovation and products are required.

Efficient lighting<br />
© XAL<br />
Efficiency is one of the<br />
most important aspects<br />
when it comes to lighting<br />
solutions. Futuristic design<br />
(XAL p175) is combined<br />
with ground-breaking<br />
developments in foil<br />
technologies so that light<br />
is guided to where it is<br />
actually needed (EcoCan<br />
p69). A further specialist<br />
area from Styria is off-grid<br />
street lighting, which<br />
combines photovoltaic<br />
modules and power<br />
storage capabilities in one<br />
system (ecoliGhts p71).<br />
Industrial prefabrication & recycling<br />
of façades<br />
Façades are also vital for thermal<br />
insulation, and are a field in which<br />
Styrian companies have focused<br />
on industrial prefabrication<br />
and digitalisation, to offer a<br />
maximum level of customisation<br />
(WINTERFACE p173), while at the<br />
same time retaining the highest<br />
levels of building thermal efficiency.<br />
The eventual recycling of façades<br />
(Binder+Co p49) should also<br />
be kept in mind here, as well as<br />
the development of new façade<br />
mounting systems (Graz University<br />
of <strong>Tech</strong>nology p25), which facilitate<br />
the correct sorting of materials<br />
during disassembly.<br />
