The 7th webinar of the Glasstech Asia x PERAFI series was successfully held yesterday.

We took a deeper dive into understanding whether smarter facades were truly sustainable, reviewed the design challenges encountered by architects, and explored the metrics that gauge the performance of these smart façades.

 

A big thank you to all our attendees, speakers, sponsors, partners and supporting organisations for making this webinar a success.
