Smart skins for sustainable buildings

360ZNE-Smart: iSkin, iFiber

Current Zero Net Energy (ZNE), uses non-biodegradable styrofoam layered on top of exterior walls, then is clad with a more attractive skin.

How ZNE works

Tom Wiscombe, AIA

Building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV)

FF 360's Building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) integrate the energy-generating solution directly into the exclusively designed skin of the building. No solar panels are required, they are replaced by FF 360’s solutions.

Currently the only BIPV construction material available is glass, which has no energy-producing or harvesting capacity, thus is not productive, simply specially tinted.

FF 360 has designed a scientifically-proven exterior building skin no other company has seen, designed or used to date. iSkin and iFiber replace tinted glass, styrofoam, extra cladding, and produces far more energy than solar panels.

FF 360's iSkin and iFiber are a dream come true for architects who truly have vision and must include smart ZNE solutions for their projects. Unattractive, outdated ZNE exteriors are replaced by cutting-edge translucent, sleek, modern designs using FF 360's flexible iSkin and iFiber.

FF 360's integrated energy-generating biosynthetic building iSkin is half the density of aluminum, stronger and lighter weight than steel. The material is both load-bearing and integrates smart energy (responsive), which is used and harvested within the very walls of FF 360 skins.

This technology harvests and stores power far exceeding the needs of an entire building. The iSkin materials are translucent and useable for not only the building facade, but for the roof, windows and many more exterior surfaces. iSkin and iFiber combined offer a more green power generation capacity than any other building material publicly known to date.

An entire building is now self-sustained.

Quantum Nanosonic BIPV iSkin and iFiber

Energy Efficient self-performing building skins.

Energy producing in low and no light (night time).

iSkin and iFiber are 60% less costly than traditional building materials and installation, provide Energy-saving rebates, tax credits and government financial incentives.

Has 6X the efficiency of solar panels.

More durable and lighter than steel.

iSkin and iFiber highlights

Designed specifically for commercial projects, the FF 360 building skins allow for architectural freedom and creativity for highly sustainable construction projects.

Freschfield gives back to architects the power to design.

Critically, FF 360‘s exclusive building skins address the need to ultimately eliminate 40% of all carbon emissions that buildings push into our atmosphere. Automobiles only produce a small fraction of carbon emissions, comparatively. Our buildings are the primary source of toxic emission and environmental damage. We have the solution, and it is beautiful.

Styrofoam, roof-top and parking structure with solar panels, BIPV glass - a puzzle of many unproductive pieces.

Outdated ZNE vs. Freschfield 360

BioSynthetics = Greater energy harvesting and less expensive than silicon

MARKET: In 2020 the global construction market will be worth $10 Trillion.

NEED: By 2020 Carbon Emission must be cut in half. (UN Energy Rpt.) SB32 ZNE mandated construction legislation enacted in California 9/26/16.

GROWTH: By 2020 global green construction market will be $453 Billion.
