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...

Can solar heat gain be reduced while limiting the carbon impact of materials? Carbon impact is currently a major issue in the construction of building envelopes. This is why Arcora developed ecale.io, a free, online version of its low-carbon design tool (1). Among the multiple functions of an envelope, the solar filtering capacity is...
