A Framework for Adaptive Façade Optimization Design Based on Building Envelope Performance Characteristics

open access: yesBuildings
The adaptive façades serve as the interface between the indoor and outdoor energy of the building. Adaptive façade optimization design can improve daylighting performance, the thermal environment, view performance, and solar energy utilization efficiency,

Achieving operational synergy between different adaptive façade technologies

open access: yesResults in Engineering
Adaptive building facades provide variable shading, thermal insulation, and ventilation. These can be combined in a specific configuration for specific ambient and internal condition to minimise energy used to meet the comfort and well-being of building ...

Decision Support for Defining Adaptive Façade Design Goals in the Early Design Phase

open access: yesEnergies, 2023
Compared to conventional façades, adaptive façades (AFs) can adjust their properties in response to environmental changes and user requirements. Often performed through the integration of actuators, sensors, and control units, this provides benefits such

Flexible Transparency - a Study on Adaptive Thin Glass Façade Panels

open access: yesChallenging Glass Conference Proceedings, 2018
Chemically strengthened thin glass (t < 2 mm) is a material that is stronger and due to its small thickness, more flexible than conventional window glass.

A technical framework to describe occupant behavior for building energy simulations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Green buildings that fail to meet expected design performance criteria indicate that technology alone does not guarantee high performance. Human influences are quite often simplified and ignored in the design, construction, and operation of buildings ...

An Autonomous Large Language Model‐Agent Framework for Transparent and Local Time Series Forecasting

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.
Architecture of the proposed large language model (LLM)‐based agent framework for autonomous time series forecasting in thermal power generation systems. The framework operates through a vertical pipeline initiated by natural language queries from users, which are processed by the LLM Agent Core powered by Llama.cpp and a ReAct loop with persistent ...

CFD assessments within strongly transient domains [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Assessments based on CFD snapshots of stable conditions within strongly transient domains do not address many aspects of performance associated with occupant interventions, control actions or changing climate. Such domains (e.g.
