“…Façades directly influence building safety, comfort, and aesthetics. According to Martinez et al (2015), façades have a role in security, thermal and acoustical insulation, air and water infiltration/mitigation, solar, daylight and glare control as well as in aesthetics. Over time, façade complexity evolved to accommodate a wide range of functionalities.…”

“…Recent improvements in quality of biomaterials enable contractors to guarantee longer periods without maintenance, as well as to schedule the maintenance in advance. It is commonly accepted that façades require profound maintenance and/or partial renovation/replacement after 20 to 30 years following the construction (Martinez et al 2015).…”

“…In many cases, people are motivated to replace materials in order to follow recent trends and not because of their degraded technical performance (Rametsteiner et al 2007). According to the studies conducted by Martinez et al (2015), aesthetics is the main motivation for retrofitting façades (accounting for 74% of all responses), followed by energy performance (65%), and remediation (56%). Therefore, trends in material choice should not be neglected when designing the building (Ebbert and Knaack 2007).…”

“…Depending on the outside conditions (in terms of climatic conditions, noise, mechanical loads, local resources and context), building facades modify and influence internal conditions (including temperature, light, air, sound level, visual relationship between outside and inside). For this reason, building facades are an increasingly relevant research area (Martinez, Patterson, Carlson, & Noble, 2015).Building façade design faces a multiplicity of goals and needs. The envelope defines the architectural value of the building and in many cases, indicates the function of the building itself.…”

The goal of this paper is providing a methodology properly supporting façade optimization in a DfMA (Design for Manufacturing and Assembly) perspective. DfMA has proven to facilitate offsite manufacturing, lowering costs and improving speed and quality of construction, especially combined with BIM strategies. A BIM-based methodology can help in setting parameters for the proper optimization of the façade, balancing production related needs and design requirements. The proposed method allows the exploration of alternatives (known as Design Optioneering) to optimize the choice of façade elements. This method is based on a mathematical algorithm and script including parameters related to geometry, production waste management and designer's needs. The proposed methodology has been tested on a newly built school in Northern Italy.

“…These retrofit opportunities are not the only drivers of façade renovation. Weathering processes, materials deterioration, and conditions of use decrease façade performance over time (Martinez et al 2015). Even before reaching the end of their service live, depending upon system type and application, a façade system may require maintenance and partial renovation around 20 or 30 years of being built (Giebeler 2009).…”

Refurbishment of the building facades of residential buildings, including insulation, is often considered as the most energy efficient renovation measure with the largest potential. One of the solutions to increase energy efficiency is the selection of the appropriate insulation materials of the external walls. The article proposes the approach for selection of the insulation material based on SAW multiple criteria assessment method. The proposed methodology is applied for the case of insulation material selection in refurbishment of 12-storey building in Vilnius, Lithuania. Research reveals that rock wool outperforms other materials by thermal conductivity, light weigh, water vapour diffusion resistance, highest flammability class, durability and lowest emission of CO2 and is an efficient insulation to be used for sustainable refurbishment solutions.
