Global warming and climate change are bringing disasters to mankind according to all the recent studies. The office building sector is a great contributor to energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions which makes it a crucial matter to consider energy efficiency related to the building sector. Considering energy efficiency in buildings and sustainability factors will result in significant energy reduction, environmental savings and greenhouse gas emissions reduction. The building envelope influences the building energy demand greatly, windows are important components of any building envelope contributing to daylighting mainly and thermal transfer partially.The research focuses on the office building design fascade with a pneumatic modular system as adaptive to enhance daylighting and energy consumption by putting guidelines to the designer to use this system well in the office building, the research focuses to analyse two case studies with three stages to achieve the effect of pneumatic modular fascade in the office building.
Space is the most effective tool to inspire architectural students. Architectural thinking usually uses a standard space prototype, giving no respect for students` learning styles. The scope has covered a deductive framework within a survey that started with a learning styles questionnaire and ended with an applicable descriptive study with a sample of architectural students to frame their environmental preferences according to their learning style. The methodology utilized multiple data accumulations as questionnaires, interviewing participants individually and noting their descriptions of their favorite inspiring spaces. Afterward, the data investigation was designated using Statistical Analysis Software (SAS) for data analysis and the Midjourney AI server in the text-to-image generation stage. The initial results showed how much architectural students prefer the reflector learning style. Although participants are different in gender and locality distribution, most showed a clear tendency to the inspiring personal space. Remarkably, the intermission space showed a higher preference frequency than the presentation space, which reflects the self-motivated nature of inspiration. In contrast, all participants showed little interest in inspiring collaboration or making spaces. Consequently, the analysis concluded a descriptive study minding the characteristics of different categories of personal spaces described by architectural 169
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
