Research
& Development
New
situations require new solutions. Due to its scientific
background INTELARC has the competence and experience
to analyze complex problems with scientific means and
develop corresponding solutions.
At the moment one patent is pending, two patents have
been conceded (in Germany) in the area of intelligent
facades and green roofs.
Realized
