“…These tools are then defined according to three specific criteria. The first category of tools includes those preferred by authors who use popular CAD-related platforms to run the simulations of solar envelopes (e.g., [30,34,45,46,51,60,71,72,87]). The second category consists of a custom-built module that is generated from a particular function of existing digital tools such as T4SU in SketchUp [50], SolCAD [79] and Calcsolar [56] in Autocad, solar envelope tools in Revit [36], and the Solar Toolbox plugin in Grasshopper [90].…”

The increasing population density in urban areas simultaneously impacts the trend of energy consumption in building sectors and the urban heat island (UHI) effects of urban infrastructure. Accordingly, passive design strategies to create sustainable buildings play a major role in addressing these issues, while solar envelopes prove to be a relevant concept that specifically considers the environmental performance aspects of a proposed building given their local contexts. As significant advances have been made over the past decades regarding the development and implementation of computational solar envelopes, this study presents a comprehensive review of solar envelopes while specifically taking into account design parameters, digital tools, and the implementation of case studies in various contextual settings. This extensive review is conducted in several stages. First, an investigation of the scope and procedural steps of the review is conducted to frame the boundary of the topic to be analyzed within the conceptual framework of solar envelopes. Second, comparative analyses between categorized design methods in parallel with a database of design parameters are conducted, followed by an in-depth discussion of the criteria for the digital tools and case studies extracted from the selected references. Third, knowledge gaps are identified, and the future development of solar envelopes is discussed to complete the review. This study ultimately provides an inclusive understanding for designers and architects regarding the progressive methods of the development of solar envelopes during the conceptual design stage.

“…Les applications restent essentiellement des expérimentations de recherche et de pédagogie avec un faible impact pratique. L'expérimentation pédagogique [27,78,79] a permis de sensibiliser les étudiants à la conception durable. Celle de recherche est souvent sur des terrains fictifs avec une grande simplification du site.…”

L'enveloppe solaire : un retour vers le futur

Cet article propose un retour réflexif sur le modèle de l’enveloppe solaire. Il s’agit d’un regard rétrospectif des approches numériques de ce modèle qui se voulait dès le départ servir l’activité de conception. Le développement des modèles de calcul énergétique a permis d’affiner la détermination de ses contraintes. L’avancée numérique a donné lieu à des enveloppes dérivées intégrant, en plus de l’accès solaire, des paramètres physiques ou réglementaires. Cependant, l’avancée numérique de l’enveloppe solaire n’est pas utilisée pour répondre aux défis climatiques actuels. Ce papier propose de dresser un état de l'art de l'enveloppe solaire, de ses développements et de ses applications en vue de comprendre en quoi la promesse des années soixante-dix est aujourd’hui réaliste. C’est l’occasion aussi de discuter le rôle que joue le progrès scientifique et technique de la morphose numérique dans les pratiques architecturales et urbaines.
