TOPRAK is a Turkish SME focused on advance facade solutions. It was founded in 2016 as a start-up and first pilot project working on a real-life environment was constructed in 2020 in Ankara-TURKEY.
The aim of their product SMART FACADE is to produce a "positive energy façade" that can meet all the HVAC needs of the building (or even produce more than needed) with RES sources. In this way, a great contribution would be made to design of the nZEB buildings or PED (positive energy district) systems. For this purpose, they are also working on heat pumps, desiccant materials, BIPV panels and low temperature TES (thermal energy storage) technologies that can be adapted to the Smart Facade system.

With these 3 new applications, there is currently a total of 7 organisations to be formally admitted by the next ECTP General Assembly in 2023.
