Luxottica Headquarter

In this video Nicola Greco explains the design and technical challenges of creating a fully transparent "crystal" building for the Luxottica headquarters in Milan's historical Palazzo Litta garden. The central architectural concept was achieved using a double-skin facade, which balances maximum transparency with high energy performance. Key challenges included selecting high-quality, low-iron glass with specialized coatings to minimize visual distortion and minimizing the visual impact of framing to maintain transparency. The passively ventilated double-skin facade provides a thermal buffer in winter and uses natural ventilation to remove heat in summer, with its performance validated through detailed steady-state and CFD simulations. The design also integrated innovative maintenance solutions, such as a rope access system within the cavity, to preserve the building's clean aesthetic.

Glass in Facade Systems

In this video, Francesco Carlucci outlines the primary glass facade systems for buildings. The video distinguishes between traditional windows, set within opaque walls, and larger curtain walls. Curtain walls are categorized into three types: stick systems (built on-site from a metal grid), unitized systems (prefabricated modules assembled on-site), and structural glass facades (which use point fixings to create a seamless, all-glass appearance by hiding the load-bearing structure). Each system offers different advantages in cost, aesthetics, installation speed, and performance, allowing designers to choose the best solution for a project's specific architectural and technical needs. The video was produced by the Open GLASSroom project. Special thanks to Francesco Carlucci for contributing to the Open GLASSroom OER collection.

Insulated Glazing Units

In this video, Francesco Fiorito explains the importance and construction of Insulated Glazing Units (IGUs), which are fundamental to energy efficiency in modern buildings. Windows are a significant source of heat loss, accounting for a large portion of a building's energy transfer. An IGU combats this by consisting of two or more glass panes separated by a spacer and sealed to create a single unit with an insulating cavity filled with dry air or inert gas. The key components that define an IGU's performance are the glass panes, which can be laminated, tinted, or coated for specific performance needs; the spacer, which maintains the gap between panes; the primary and secondary sealants, which hold the unit together and protect it from moisture; and the cavity filling, where gases like argon significantly improve insulation over dry air. IGUs are primarily classified by their number of cavities: double glazing (DGU) and more insulating triple glazing (TGU). A newer development is Vacuum Insulated Glazing (VIG), which offers superior thermal performance in a very slim profile but faces challenges with durability. The video concludes that by combining these different components and technologies, a wide variety of IGUs can be created to meet specific aesthetic and energy performance requirements for buildings. The video was produced by the Open GLASSroom project. Special thanks to Francesco Fiorito for contributing to the Open GLASSroom OER collection.

Thermo-optical Properties

In this video, Francesco Fiorito, from the Polytechnic University of Bari, explains how glass interacts with solar radiation. When sunlight hits a window, some energy is transmitted inside, some is reflected, and some is absorbed. Two key values define a glass's performance: the Solar Factor (or g-value), which measures total heat gain, and the Visible Light Transmittance (VLT), which measures how much light passes through. While clear glass has high values for both, it can cause overheating. Tinted glass reduces heat gain but also makes interiors darker. Selective glass uses special coatings to block heat (a low g-value) while still allowing plenty of light (a high VLT). Other coatings, like low-emissivity (low-e), help with thermal insulation. The video concludes that selecting the right glass is essential for energy efficiency and comfort in buildings. The video was produced by the Open GLASSroom project.

PFAS – Persistent Micropollutants in the Water Cycle

This report presents the final course material that was developed for the online learning module on persistent micropollutants – PFAS. The document can be used as a stand-alone manual to fully individually follow the entire course, from week to week. It includes the links to the video materials that were developed for the course within the project, fully integrated within the reading material. The course forms a bridge between scientists and professionals working in the water cycle. So far, the information on PFAS has been available in a scattered manner, making it difficult for non-experts to get a complete introductory overview. This course was designed to compile information on PFAS through the water cycle, from production to use and final treatment. The course is built up in an intuitive way: it starts with a general introduction on the origin, chemistry and nomenclature of PFAS; national standards and reported concentrations in the urban water cycle are presented; analytics are explained; the course concludes with technologies for separation and final destruction of PFAS. Each chapter (or week) contains written textbook material, videos and additional reading material. Development of the course has been a co-production between PROMISCES and TU Delft, as TU Delft has an extensive educational support system including a professional recording studio and an expert learning assessment system for engineering education. All materials including videos are freely available for the general public. If the learner wants the full experience of having virtual classmates, get access to all exercises and receive a certificate and credit points after successful completion of the course, one can register at online-learning.tudelft.nl. The course was developed by two environmental engineers with a professional educational background (Mariska Ronteltap and Kim Lompe). The educational videos include knowledge clips (recorded lectures in a studio), videos in laboratories, interviews with PROMISCES project partners and videos on location. To be able to follow the course a basic understanding of chemistry is required; other than that, the course is fully understandable for non-experts. Collaboration between TU Delft, Delfland Water Authority, and the EU Project PROMISCES.

Schermtijd, ouder-kind groepen & Pasjtoe [Seizoen 3, Aflevering 12]

In deze laatste aflevering van het seizoen spreken we in Let’s Klets met Janette Cabezas (begint op 18:44). Zij is een Spaanstalige moeder uit Chile met twee meertalige kinderen. Een paar jaar geleden heeft zij samen met andere Spaanstalige ouders een ouder-kind groep opgericht om de ontwikkeling van hun kinderen te ondersteunen op het gebied van taal en cultuur. In de podcast vertelt ze over waarom ze deze groep is begonnen, wat ze precies doen als ze bij elkaar komen, en ook hoe haar twee dochters – inmiddels tieners – nu voorlezen aan de kleinere kinderen. Overweeg jij om zo’n groep te beginnen, dan heeft Janette handige tips voor je op basis van haar eigen ervaring. Hier lees je meer over de groep van Janette en haar mede-ouders. Als je jouw kind meertalig opvoedt en jij de enige bron bent van één van de twee of meer talen van je kind, kan het een goed idee zijn om te proberen andere mensen of plaatsen te vinden waar je kind die taal kan horen en gebruiken. Een manier om dit te doen is gebruik te maken van multimedia zoals tv en films, apps, luisterboeken en muziek. In Vers van de Pers (begint op 10:15) bespreken we een recent onderzoek uit Singapore dat onderzoekt of het gebruik van multimedia de taalontwikkeling van meertalige kinderen echt bevordert. Dit is het onderzoek waar het om gaat: Sun H and Yin B (2020) Multimedia Input and Bilingual Children’s Language Learning. Front. Psychol. 11:2023. doi: 10.3389/fpsyg.2020.02023 De onderzoekers vragen zich af wat het belangrijkst is: hoeveel tijd besteden kinderen aan het gebruik van deze middelen of hoeveel verschillende soorten multimedia ze gebruiken (dus niet alleen tv, maar ook apps en luisterboeken, bijvoorbeeld)? Het bleek dat voor de taal die het meest voorkomt in de bredere omgeving van de kinderen, het Engels, het gebruik van multimedia helemaal niet veel invloed had. Voor de thuistaal van de kinderen, Mandarijn Chinees, was de diversiteit van de multimedia middelen positief gerelateerd aan hun scores op een reeks taaltests, maar dit gold niet voor de hoeveelheid tijd die zij aan dergelijke middelen besteedden. In deze aflevering horen we ook weer van onze Taalgids, Sterre Leufkens (begint op 02:13). Dit keer vertelt zij je meer over het Pasjtoe, een taal die gesproken wordt in Afghanistan. Ze begon met een aantal spreekwoorden.
