Evaluation of Adaptive Facades: The Case Study of AGC Headquarter in Belgium
The evaluation of adaptive facades presents a challenge because there is no established evaluation strategy to systematically reach this goal and many of the available façade performance evaluation tools have limited applicability for such advanced ...
