The Impact of Responsive Systems on Energy Consumption and Thermal Performance of Buildings

Abstract

It is easy today to predict that the building systems will become active in the responsive system operation by controlling their energy consumption to optimize complex criteria beyond ensuring local end-use comfort satisfaction. It's necessary to enable integration between the building and the surrounding environment. So, Responsiveness in architecture is one of the attributes that you can apply. Studies have shown that the biggest reason for this, billions of people will live in cities especially in Asia and Africa, and most cities are not ready for this massive growth, it's hard to show buildings and more damage to the environment, cause our cities to emit 80% of greenhouse gases industry, transportation and Mobility. So, it should use natural resources to reduce energy consumption that seeks sustainable building design. Cities are not only the hotels, but it's placed to live in order to influence and improve their characteristics. This study is a part of a thesis titled "Analytical study of responsive architecture and smart materials and their impact on environmental design" and it aims to understand and multiple forms of architectural response such as a kinetic facades or human interface with the building to generate energy or use local building materials which reduce energy consumption and resources .We have to work on the future cities to achieve livability and responsiveness it's become first for a smart , So it's important to know the architecture information and Knowledge. This paper aims to know how to reduce energy consumption in buildings according to use a responsive system in architecture to achieve this and improve the efficiency and thermal performance of buildings.

The Influence of Using Responsive Façade as a Tool for Improving the Built Environment: Case study: Attaba – Opera square

“…-In general, windows are considered the weak point in the cover of the building in terms of thermal insulation, but with the rapid progress of technology recently, especially in the field of materials engineering and nanotechnology, there is glass with advanced features and highly advanced performance such as glass with vacuum insulation equivalent to isolation insulation of a wall consisting of several layers, and glass It can generate solar power while it is transparent, intelligent glass can be controlled by its transparency and wireless heat acquisition automatically or through a smartphone, and many other technologies [11] Recommendation and Future Studies…”

Reduction of Thermal Loads by Biomimetic Responsive Skins

“…This type of environment interface responsiveness is mostly depending on changing the materials properties of the façade. When a material is exposed to high levels of solar radiation, it changes its properties to reduce the amount of solar radiation that enters the building [11].…”

Comparative Analysis between different types of Responsive Design Approach: (Applicability to Use in Different Climatic Regions in Egypt)

“…The comfort aspect can be achieved by promoting natural energy flow or by some energy therapeutic strategies [11].…”
