After 3 years of research, Arcora presents Héméra*, a silent, compact, and autonomous system, developed with researchers from the Navier laboratory at École des Ponts ParisTech with the support of the Ingérop group as part of its active innovation and R&D initiative, and Wicona France, the project’s industrial partner.
It is the first solar shading system actuated by a shape memory alloy (SMA) wire – the system is energy-autonomous thanks to louvers equipped with ASCA® photovoltaic films composed of organic polymers. In addition, Arcora has fitted out ArEx**, a shipping container, to present the Héméra system regardless of its exhibition location, while evaluating user comfort. The container has been redesigned with the aim of offering a pleasant demonstration space, while rationalizing carbon impact. Click here to learn more: https://lnkd.in/d-adj-i
