Bosch explains the new European Directive about Energy Efficiency, through five basic keys. This new Directive is about energy audits, accreditation systems for suppliers of energy services and the promotion of energy efficiency in the processes of production and use. The keys are the following:
1. This new normative obliges to companies that are not SMEs to make Energy Audits, in order that they know their situation about the use of energy, to have acreditation systems to energy service providers and energy auditors, and to promote the enery efficiency in the production processes and use.
2. The objective of this is to boost the saving and energy efficiency, the optimization of the energy demand of the installation on the part of the equipment, as well as to have competent, reliable and accredited professionals.
3. This new Directive affects to big companies with at least 250 employees or with a business volume of more than 50 millions, and to energy service providers that with this new Directive must meet certain requirements for the exercise of their professional activity. Furthermore, this also affects to enery auditors, that must have an accredited degree, and in general to users and citizens.
4. Now it is important to know that if this rules are not breach, companies will be punished with fines between 300 to 60.000 euros and these can increase to 100.000 euros in some cases.
5. Finally, this new normative entered into force the 12th of February.
Once again, the American architect Daniel Libeskind has collaborated with de Spanish multinational firm Cosentino in this case in the installation «Musical Labyrinth». A project presented at the Cosentino City showroom in Manhattan.
At this event, Libeskind has explained all the details of the project to the different media that were there. «Musical Labyrinth» is an installation sited in Frankfurt that every visitor to the German city will be able to see in Frankfurt’s Opera Square. This 289m2 intallation, that according to its creator is a work of public art, simulates a deep black landscape and is engraved in white with the original concept sketch by Libeskind created for the “One Day in Life”. But all of this it’s possible thanks to Cosentino’s ultra-compact surface Dekton®, that can be customized using techniques such as etching.
Moreover, «Musical Labyrinth» is made of 80 personalized Dekton slaps in black “Sirius”, with a mesure of 3.2m x 1.4m. All of these slaps serve as a canvas for Libeskind’s design to be applied using sunken relief in white. The lines of the drawing illustrate an imaginary labyrinth within the city, indicating the points of the addresses of the 18 concerts and performances of “One Day in Life”.
As we have explained before, this is not the first collaboration with Daniel Libeskind. And that is that, this is the fourth time that Cosentino and the studio of this architect work together. Prior projects include: “Beyond the Wall”, an installation that was first presented in Silestone natural quartz during Milan Design Week and is now permanently installed featuring Dekton at Cosentino’s global headquarters in Almeria, Spain; and the sculpture “Sonnets in Babylon”, created for the Venice Architecture Biennale.
With its ongoing growth and passion for innovation, Renson recently reached the finals of the ‘Enterprise of the Year’ competition in Belgium. Although its activities are strongly international, the challenge for the Belgian company is now to grow into a world leader in the area of ventilation, sun protection and terrace coverings. And that would now appear to be quite well within reach.
TOWER PROJECT IN SHANGAI
Renson has been active in the Asian market since 2013. It is now represented in such countries as China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore, Thailand, Indonesia and Japan. “Renson had previously achieved an amazing feat by installing a Lagune terrace covering on the 58th floor of the Ritz Carlton hotel in Shanghai. But the ‘Black Forest’ project in Shanghai is the first project of this scale that we landed in Asia”, relates Rick Heintjes, Renson Sales Manager for Asia. «It involves some 3000 Fixscreens in high-end residential dwellings, distributed among 3 apartment towers. The first of these was equipped with 985 Fixscreens. The contract for a second and third tower building was concluded at the end of September 2015 (with commissioning planned for the end of May 2016) and the orders are on their way. The total deal is for more than € 1.8 million, the largest agreement Renson has concluded to date in the Asian market.»
Paul Renson: “Renson’s ambition is to grow from a Belgian company into a global player in the area of ventilation, sun protection and terrace coverings. Projects like this in Shanghai give us additional motivation for following the path we’ve chosen.»

The island of Taiwan has a population of 23 million, turning this place in one of the most densely settled regions in the world. The hotel that we are going to talk about is located in its capital, Taipei in the north of the island, a place in which visitors want to relax and avoid all the noise of the city.
This has used as an inspiration the tradition and culture of Taiwan, combined with more contemporary modern touches. This also has a restaurant, but the most important service that offers is the big spa that allows users to relax. A place divided into two wellness oases and spreads over two floors covering more than 3,500 square metres. This has not only a sauna, steam showers, vitality pool, ice fountain and 12 treatment rooms but also two VIP double suites and four couples’ suites.
Certainly a unique space in which Villeroy & Boch participates with the high-quality sanitary facilities for the spa, using the Architecture collection. This is characterised by a deliberately minimalist design, allowing a wide range of applications and leaving room for individual style. The toilets repels dirt thanks to CeramicPlus, which ensures a perfect hygiene. Moreover, these have a silent closure of the toilet seat and a high cleaning efficiency with a water use of 3 or 4,5 litres.

Thyssenkrupp has begun the installation of the peculiar front of glass PTFE, politetrafluoroetileno, in his tower of tests that one finds in Rottweil, Germany, destined to test the innovations worldwide of his elevators. It is foreseen that the project is the highest of the world of this class.
For the installation of this membrane, it is needed of specialized technical personnel to realize the assembly to a height 246 meters. An installation of height that he carries that the whole equipment faces singular challenges. By means of two mobile platforms, the specialists measure the exterior and join the space-bars and pipes to mount the membrane. Of separated form, the front will be assembled in three parts and will establish itself of it arrives down. Due to the gradual gradation of the membrane, the tower will seem to be almost opaque in the part of below and will be estimated of almost transparent form in the part of above, where the fabric of mesh is thicker.
17000 METERS
The membrane, of 17.000 square meters, is done of glass PTFE (politetrafluoroetileno), a complex woven of fiber of glass covered with polymer that grants long duration, allows the auto-cleaned one and contributes to the tower his distinctive aspect. In addition, also it protects her from the intense solar radiation and reduces the movement of the building, attacking the force of the wind. The fabric takes place in strips of three meters that later will knit to bigger sections of membrane, being the first time that applies this material to itself hereby.
For the equipment of planning one has possessed 29 members of Taiyo Europa, person in charge of the manufacture and assembly of the membrane. According to Hubert Reiter, the executive director of Taiyo Europe: » The phase of planning, as well as the set they mean new challenges for us, since the requirements and specifications are totally only. We from Taiyo Europa are very proud to take part in a project as special as this one «.
TEST IN DECEMBER 2016
There is programmed that the operations of test in the tower begin in December, 2016 and that in May, 2017, opens the tower the visitors. » For thyssenkrupp Elevator, the tower of tests in Rottweil will play a key paper in the implementation of our global strategy of innovation, which is crucial for the success of the company «, Andreas Schierenbeck says, CEO of thyssenkrupp Elevator. » Together with our plant of elevators in Neuhaussen, and as part of the world network of research and development, the tower supposes an important center of innovation for the technology of elevators in Germany. Here, they will be explored, will develop and prove innovative solutions for the mobility of the future, in order which the cities are the best place to live «, Schierenbeck comments.
CONSTRUCTION
Thyssenkrupp began the construction of the tower of Rottweil’s tests in 2014 together with the general Züblin contractor. Between the technologies that will be tested there is the elevator MULTI, with three of twelve axes of the tower saved for this new system. Thanks to the technology of magnetic levitation of the Transrapid, MULTI offers a series of advantages: the free design of cables allows to several cabins to operate in an alone axis, increasing the passengers’ capacity up to in 50 per cent and, at the same time, reducing the fingerprint of the elevator in the building to the half. In addition, the elevators will be able to move without constraint, so much horizontally as vertically, making new applications and architectural possibilities possible without precedents.
Architects Norman Foster and Carlos Rubio are going to develop the refurbishment of the Hall of Realms (Salón de Reinos) of the Museo del Prado in Madrid. In order to achieve this, both firms, Foster + Partners and Rubio Arquitectura have worked together in a proposal that has been shown under the name of ‘Traza Oculta’.
A process that started with a first phase where 47 teams showed their proposal and continued with the selection of 8 finalists.
Moreover, its project has been selected, as the jury highlights, for: «the premium quality of the architectural proposal, which respects and values the existing building adapting it to the needs of our times; the smart satisfaction of museological requirements; the successful integration of the building in its environment, as well as the ensemble of the Campus of the Museo del Prado; just as the effective cost review of the work».

“I take a minimalist approach in my kitchens, preferring to create a clean striking surface that is punctuated by splashes of strong color. For the Kook kitchen I wanted to create an innovative design to turn even the most challenging culinary endeavors into pure aesthetic pleasure”. The cabinets open to give expansive views of all that is to offer and then shut when the meal is done making a minimal and uncluttered kitchen. Rolling shutters reveal LED edged shelves and built-in hood above the hob. Utilizing the angled cabinet, larger items can be stored at the top while smaller, more readily used items on the bottom making cooking a breeze. The pressure opened bottom cabinets are accented with colored LED strips and angled to allow an easy approach to the work surface. Kook also features a sink that can be hidden using a matching cutting board to make a continuous surface. The use of solid Corian on frameless doors gives life to a combination of technicality, solidity and aesthetic minimalism.
The kitchen is the space where time management, customized solutions and accessories become indispensable.
