Utilizing 2,500 sq m of Texlon© ETFE cladding, the Media Tic constructing will enable power savings of 20% and will score 42 points of the maximum 57 points envisaged by the decree on environmental criteria and power eco-efficiency set for this project. Texlon© ETFE is anti-adherent, stopping it from becoming dirty and requiring cleaning upkeep. It does not lose its characteristics of elasticity, transparency or strength over time and improves thermal insulation, as well as providing shade by indicates of a pneumatic program.external solar program Media Tic in BarcelonaThe South East facade of the constructing receives an average of six hours of sunshine a day, requiring an external solar program based on a double layer of cladding that is regulated, domotic, structurally light, with low power consumption and high illumination efficiency. To combat this, the architect utilized an exterior ‘film’ of materials with a variable Texlon© ETFE solar filter in a diaphragm configuration, constructed with three layers of Texlon© ETFE, with constant pressure and variable circulation of air in in between the chambers.
