New Technologies in Construction Materials Based on Environmental Approach (Case Study: Double Skin Facades)

Abstract

Energy crisis and daily increase in environmental pollution due to production of greenhouse gases, especially in construction industry is among important topics of the recent century architecture. Utilizing proper materials as one important factor in this industry, has been the concern of many researchers. Hence the following research has the aim of investigating heating performance of new kinds of materials in architecture industry and also replacing double skin facades to maintain thermal comfort of the residents, with minimum energy consumption. Sustainable architecture is one of the most important elements of sustainable development topic, because more than half of greenhouse gases in the world are produced by residential homes. Considering that the amount of greenhouse gases produced in developing countries is more than that of developed countries, hence it becomes clear the necessity of considering environmental approach in the field of architecture works. In this research while doing desk studies and investigating achieved research, the descriptive -analytical method and also field method have been applied and through thermal performance analysis of building materials and using energy simulation software (IES -VE)and their comparison, the appropriate pattern is proposed.

Materiais Cristalinos Funcionais e Desenvolvimento Tecnológico

“…Na segunda abordagem, a ênfase recai na análise da irreversibilidade do sistema climático e, principalmente, da produção de entropia 6 . As mudanças climáticas e a redução da disponibilidade de combustíveis tem sido discutida por todo o mundo, demandando estudos multidisciplinares para o desenvolvimento de novas tecnologias, contribuindo para o avanço da engenharia 7 . Esta abordagem foi intensificada no século XXI, período marcado pela expansão tecnológica e sua utilização para modelagem estrutural e simulação de dados, incluindo neste contexto, desenvolvimento de novos materiais.…”
