Reduce execution risk – at the facade.
One system with integrated heating, cooling and shading at the building edge.
Less coordination. More control. Built on standard components. Ready for real projects.
Instead of distributing these functions across multiple systems, climatechfacade (CTF) handles thermal performance where it occurs – at the facade.
Thermal loads are handled at the facade – not inside the building.
The climatechfacade (CTF) integrates heating, cooling and solar shading directly into the building envelope. Instead of distributing these functions across multiple systems, CTF handles thermal performance where it occurs – at the facade.
Solar heat is removed before
it enters the room.
Outdoor cold is tempered before
reaching the interior.
sunshading is operable
at all times.
CTF uses existing heating and cooling circuits and manages thermal energy directly within the facade before it enters the building.
No distribution across the building.
No delayed response.
Proven in GT Hub under real operating conditions
Experience 86 active facade modules in real operation — delivering measurable comfort and efficiency.
Inside the facade
Each CTF module is a prefabricated facade element with integrated heating, cooling and shading system components.
energy is delivered via controlled surface temperature
reduced HVAC load for the entire building
uniform temperature directly at the facade
no cold downdraft
no hotspots
no overheating
less energy consumption
consistent solar control
Protected from wind and weather.
Fully operable at all times.
Reliable solar control – independent of external conditions.
solar energy is used, not rejected
Transferred via the heat exchanger.
Fed into the building's energy system.
Available for heating, storage, or distribution where needed.
adaptIQ: control integrated
hywin adaptIQ proactively optimizes usage and weather patterns to flatten peaks, lower costs, and seamlessly
integrate with your existing building management system and optionally with climatechfacade.
Conventional facades react.

traditional approach
hywin climatechfacade
outdoor thermal loads enter through the facade
loads are stopped and managed at the facade
HVAC systems compensate inside
less energy is applied exactly where it is needed
cold/heat is distributed across the entire building
loads are reduced at source
peak loads drive heating and cooling system sizing
smaller heating and cooling systems. Lower costs.
comfort issues occur at the perimeter
perimeter zones become inherently stable and comfortable
The building doesn’t need to correct what never enters.

Frequently asked
Learn how climatechfacade improves building performance.
Is climatechfacade more cost-effective than a traditional facade with separate HVAC and shading systems?
Yes. climatechfacade combines heating, cooling and solar shading in a single facade system. By reducing technical interfaces, coordination effort and duplicated building services infrastructure, projects can lower lifecycle costs while simplifying execution.
Can CTF connect to existing heating and cooling systems?
Yes. Climatechfacade can connect to existing heating and cooling networks and works alongside established building services infrastructure.
Is climatechfacade a proven technology?
Yes. climatechfacade is built using established facade, heating, cooling and control technologies. The innovation comes from integrating these functions into a single coordinated facade system.
