A device and a method for opening a pivotable façade element both for everyday comfort ventilation purposes and for emergency opening in the case of e.g. fire. The device comprises a rigid frame part pivotable about a centre of rotation displaced from the centre of rotation of the pivotable façade element. The rigid frame part is moved by an actuator providing a lifting force to a contact surface of the façade element, thereby pivoting the façade element. The device also comprises a shock absorber.
