Intelligent Facades in Low-Energy Buildings

Abstract: Growing interest in development of innovative solutions for enhancement of sustainability in the built environments has been observed in recent years. According to the main constituents of buildings particularly in building envelopes, facades are expected to play a significant role towards the promotion of sustainable design in low energy buildings. This study presents a holistic review towards the analysis of 'intelligent facades' according to their types, current implementations, challenges, and ultimate imp… Show more

“…Supporting the analytical findings, De Silva [39] identifies the main focused constituents of smart houses through a state of the art review and accordingly, it is illustrated that the respective intelligent technologies are mainly utilized in smart houses for 'safety & security', 'health issues', 'supporting the children and elderly', 'enhanced energy performance', 'leisure and engaging activities', and consequently 'improved life quality'. Meanwhile, reviewing the most recent efforts for enhancement of the energy efficiency in buildings for development of future eco-cities as reported by GhaffarianHoseini et al [51,52] and Berardi [62], the findings encourage future studies to focus on adapting the smart houses to the sustainability principles for achieving zero energy smart houses.…”

“…Designing a building façade with the capability of being responsive and interactive to the versatile climates is considered to be significant in terms of enhancing the building energy performance [113]. Kinetic façades, as intelligent façades, are able to adopt their shape, form, orientation or openings to automatically respond to the environmental parameters including the temperature, humidity, wind, etc.…”

“…A double window system (DWS) is an energy-efficient envelope system in which a cavity is placed between the inner and outer layers to provide natural ventilation, solar radiation control, and enhanced insulation [1][2][3][4][5][6][7]. The DWS is a box-type double-skin facade that is also effective in reducing heating and cooling energy consumption [8][9][10][11].…”
