The Association European Polycarbonate Sheet Extruders (EPSE www.epse.org), which includes companies engaged in the extrusion of polycarbonate plates, has recently delivered its awards, with those who want to reward the best and most innovative applications of polycarbonateThey emphasize their unique properties.

The winner of this year's best project has been Centro Comercial Santa Fe of Medellin, Colombia. It has created a few plates of low weight and transparent to a building which must withstand high temperatures and have few loads, in particular for its roof and walls that filter out heat from the environment. Their role to highlight the advantages of the polycarbonate construction has been valued.

The best innovation award was for the stadium of Breme, for its combination of design and sustainability in the roof of PC. Floating Silicon cells embedded between two plates of PC make solar panels that generate 100 Watts of energy per square meter. The plates can fold and cut, making it easy to architectural design.

Finally, the award for the best project and innovation was for the facade of the stadium fans of Dublin, in Ireland. With its mobile and transparent polycarbonate plates, the walls of the stadium can reflect and respond to their environment, making it a unique example in the world of the potential of the plates of PC architecture.

The next edition of EPSE Awards will be organized through the website of the Association and will have three new categories: sustainability, innovation and design. Winners will be decided by a jury, consisting of experts from different fields, including design, architecture, construction, and journalism.
