Just two years ago, the ABS Network project wrapped up a comprehensive and strategically clear network of knowledge among Slovenian and Austrian experts on the efficient use of solar energy.

Sustainability and the pursuit of sustainable development can best be described by the definition of Norwegian politician Brundtland, who says "Sustainable development meets the needs of the present human race without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs."

Did you know that man has always been able to make good use of natural potentials, resources? The sun as the largest renewable source represents unlimited capital, which will be added to our planet for at least a million years and more.

In order to follow the guidelines of the European Cohesion Policy, the aim is to promote the balanced development of the whole European Union and to promote cross-border cooperation within the framework of European territorial cooperation

TALUM d.d. has produced a heat exchanger for the STAF panel that combines hard work and cooperation with Graz University of Technology within the framework of Interreg SI-AT, also considers the European and Slovenian guidelines when planning to enter the market.

The participants of ABS network: Technical University of Graz, TALUM d.d. and Tiko-Pro d.o.o., have after 26 months of intensive work, research and developing of STAF panel research, revealed the prototype of STAF panel to the wider public.

The ABS network project, financed as part of V-A Interreg Slovenia-Austria, was launched in June 2017 and lasts a total of 26 months. The final business meeting, which takes place in Maribor on June 12, 2019, between 9:00 am and 3:00 pm awaits us until its conclusion.

In the last 26 months, the main actors of the project, Graz University of Technology, Talum d.d. and TIKO pro d.o.o. seeks to analyze as much as possible the existing technical solutions in the area of ​​solar energy use in building envelopes. Monitoring development and thorough analysis are essential to developing innovative solutions that are i...

Despite of its proven potential, the benefits of solar energy are still not being used enough. To be more aware of the potential, let us consider the numbers in case of using the STAF panels in combination with heat pumps.

Thermically activated solar panel – STAF panel - is an innovative solution for heating and cooling systems. With the use of the STAF panel we plan to largely reduce the energy costs. We have been dedicating a lot of attention to the technology of connecting the boards, the research of the most appropriate binders and insulation technology and the ...
