5+ day, 5+ hour ago   (211+ words) Two case studies — a 368 kWp coloured façade in Amsterdam and Vienna’s Floridsdorf metro station — illustrate the aesthetic-performance trade-off in practice, including the finding that structural (interference-based) colouration losses run 5–20%, versus 20–50% for absorbing pigments. For FPV, the report highlights how strongly…...
