Opening ceremony of the 4th Windoor Festival
Filled with many highlights, international cooperation and the move forward to a sustainable energy-efficient future have been the main focus of this year's Windoor Festival.
Meeting of international guests and high-ranking politicians and Chinese business men
For example, the German Passive House Institute, the Orient Sundar Group and the Longfor Group signed a project cooperation agreement, especially to carry out the biggest passive building project of all-time, the Train-City.
In addition, to move forward in the area of modern facade building the long-lasting partnership with Raico has been deepened with the resolution for further collaboration. One important aspect of today's building is the increased use in prefabricated and modular house concepts and especially for China is this technology of strategic importance. The Orient Sundar Group is therefore gratified to sign a cooperation agreement with the BlaueLagune, the center for prefabricated building of Austria.Furthermore, it is no secret that for an energy-efficient house, sun-shading systems are of great importance. With Warema, a leading company in that field, the Orient Sundar Group signed a cooperation contract to further advance in passive housing components.
Finally, the Orient Sundar Group teamed up with Ercole a leading Italian company in the area of luxury and security doors, to offer premium products to an increasing demand.

Another well-received highlight was the 2017 China-EU Prefabricated Ultra-Low Energy Consumption Green Building Industrial Development Forum. This year the focus was on prefabricated building and passive houses. Experts and decision-makers joint this event for discussions and speeches in order to examine the application of these technologies for the Chinese market.
Furthermore, the exhibitors of the Windoor Festival heavily upgraded their exhibition booths and also the Windoor City improved the sights next to the exhibition like the newly reopened museum for windows and doors, the experience center for energy-efficient windows, the new passive production base, which was opened last month and includes a state-of-the-art R&D facility, the quality test center for windows, doors and curtain walls and the Eco-City, which compromises ideas of the sustainable city of the future.
In order to complete this event socially, a reception dinner was hosted on the first evening with more than 3000 attendees and live performances on stage, so national as well as international guests enjoyed the dinner and each other’s company.
